"Nationally, (my son) is one of the top pitchers at the high school level, has been recruited by more than 150 colleges, and began working with Dick Mills' pitching program in 2000 at the age of 11. The ideas and principles in Dick Mills' new book, THE SCIENCE AND ART OF BASEBALL PITCHING, will help Mark to become an even better pitcher, and more importantly will permit him to avoid many aspects of the "conventional pitching wisdom community." Dr. Rushall (coauthor) has opened up to us a new world of evidence-based sports training principles and applied them rigorously to pitching. The result of Dick Mills' and Dr. Rushall's work is a new paradigm for pitching instruction and training. The practical consequence is that pitchers and their coaches have a scientifically-based roadmap for success. The tenets of this book give great clarity to what pitchers should focus on and what they should avoid. This book leapfrogs beyond other pitching books on the library shelf."

"By the way, I received the book on Wednesday. I have been reading your section first and I'm already on the part where you compare a high school pitcher with a major league pitcher. By reading your information on that and the information previous to that about long-toss and weighted balls, it has cleared up everything, all the confusion I had, and the book explains how to fix it perfectly. Compliments to you and Dr. Rushall. The book is incredible. Anyone who reads this statement and has not purchased the book yet I highly recommend you do. After reading a few pages, I noticed my velocity and control improved. It is the best investment I've made yet."

"I received my copy of THE SCIENCE AND ART OF BASEBALL PITCHING three days ago. All I can say is that it is AWESOME. This book puts so many things under one cover and in reasonable, easy to understand language, and with research that is documented and footnoted. I can tell you this - your book will cause massive cognitive dissonance for those that are open-minded enough to read it. Your book belongs on the top rung of baseball pitching books. I can only hope that your book and method finds its way throughout the pitching universe. I will never be without this book."

Richard Dondes, East Brunswick, NJ

"I find THE SCIENCE AND ART OF BASEBALL PITCHING by Dick Mills and Dr. Brent Rushall an important resource - based on up-to-date data supported by scientific studies that every modern day pitching coach would benefit from. Perhaps more importantly, it dispels many of the myths involving the process of teaching the art of pitching. This book is a 'must' read for anyone wanting to step into the modern-day art and science of baseball pitching."

Ed Broussand, Pitching Instructor, Baton Rouge, LA

"It just took me one day to be extremely excited about your New Book and our upcoming bullpen session tonight (really wish you were here). John and I sat at the kitchen table last night for a half hour studying and discussing in detail the mechanics section of the book that compares the high school pitcher and the professional. Then we went to the mound in the garage and worked on the EXACT thing that has been missing from his delivery (the explosive move out from the rubber, taking his mass with him). The key will be that he lands in the power position in the correct manner and does not rush!

I thought the section on Bob Shaw was very interesting and right on as he lives and teaches in our area and I am very aware of his methods….Talk to you soon."

John T. Hooker, Port St. Lucie, FL

PS "Thanks for your message. Sure, please do post my testimony…..they are facts! Just like what the book is based on".

"Several years ago I decided to do more than just coach baseball. I wanted to focus on teaching kids how to pitch. I searched the web and bought books to help me make a decision on how best to pursue my goal. Dick and Ginny provided exactly what I needed.

Dick, thanks for your continued efforts to provide us with the best pitching resources. You have helped all of us have a positive influence on kids that goes beyond pitching since there are life applications in your instructions."
