Warrior Athletics Hall of Fame
Mills made his mark at LC and in the NAIA in just one season as a Warrior. In the title game of the 2007 Avista NAIA World Series, the Visalia, Calif. native belted three home runs to break the NAIA single-season home run record with 38. His third home run of the game, a grand slam, set the record that still stands.
In his lone season with the Warriors, Mills led the NAIA in slugging (1.033), which also set an LC program record. He also led the NAIA in RBI with 123 and runs with 100. He was tabbed an All-American, the NAIA Player of the Year and Avista NAIA World Series Most Valuable Player. The corner infielder went on to be drafted in the first round, 13th overall, by the Cleveland Indians in the 2007 MLB Amateur Draft.Â
