Spin rate chart baseball
In 2016, there were over 255,000 four-seam fastballs thrown, and the Major League average four-seam spin rate was 2,264 rpm. As you'd expect, a huge majority of four-seam fastballs are clustered around that point, in the 2,100 rpm to 2,500 rpm range. In the same way that baseball had a 4.19 ERA In the chart above, a curveball with a total spin rate of 2,475 (rpm) and a True Spin rate of 1,490 (rpm) would have a spin efficiency of 60%. Said differently, only 60% of the total spin on this curveball is contributing to its movement away from its expected path.
