RHP Ben Mills (Oak Creek, 2025) is an intriguing righty to keep an eye on as the summer goes on. Listed at a projectable 6-foot-2, 160-pounds, Mills showed feel for a three-pitch mix out of a controlled, easy delivery. During his ‘pen, Mills ran his fastball up to 79.2 mph and it was thrown downhill, occasionally playing with some arm side run. He also showed confidence in a big 11/5 curveball that played with late depth, and Mills also showed the ability to bury this pitch, too. He rounded out his repertoire with a low-70s changeup that was thrown at arm speed, and featured fade/depth actions.
