Zane Mills

Undrafted out of high school from Lincoln High in Portland, Mills struggled in his first season at Washington State in 2019, posting a 2-4, 5.25 mark with 40 strikeouts and 21 walks in 36 innings, but took a step forward with an impressive summer in the West Coast League. He carried that momentum into the 2020 season and went 3-0, 0.58 in seven appearances (six starts) in the Northwoods League that summer. This season, Mills pitched well at times, with a 5-5, 4.15 mark, 83 strikeouts and 22 walks in 80.1 innings despite not having a dominant arsenal. At 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, Mills has good size on the mound and is lauded for his pitchability and polish. His three-pitch mix is highlighted by a fastball that sits 88-92 mph and a slider, and his command of both pitches is plus. He also mixes in a changeup, with the ability to throw the pitch for strikes. Thanks to his feel and command of his arsenal, Mills should be able to start at the next level.
