Spin Rate
Spin rate is how many revolutions per minute (RPM) a ball makes when released from a pitcher’s hand. Now although spin rate is important, it is not the be-all end-all. The ability to spin the ball is a talent and not everyone can do it. A pitcher can still be very effective with a lower spin rate, it is all dependent on the type of repertoire the pitcher possesses.
