Charlotte righthander Adam Mills has been a topic of much debate for a different reason: performance vs. stuff. He was having a season as good as any pitcher in the nation, setting a school record with 13 wins to go with a 1.06 ERA. He also had remarkable secondary numbers with 136 strikeouts and 26 walks in 136 innings this season. He has done it against mostly inferior competition in the Atlantic-10 Conference, however, and while he shows an outstanding feel for pitching and plus command of three pitches, his stuff is fringe-average. Mills' fastball sits at 86-89 mph, and his breaking ball and changeup are below-average offerings. Based on his performance, he could receive some consideration in the top 10 rounds of the draft, depending on his signability.
