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.

We see   Jul 24, 2017 It seems that average spin rate on a fastball sits around 2200 rpm. When I received his MLB PDP report, it showed an average of 1700 On Trackman, if you attach your player to your account, it will show a graph with all of 

Spin rate is not all that matters when it comes to pitchers. You can read more about that Driveline Baseball , but essentially the idea is that not all spin is created equal.

This article is intended to build a basis of knowledge of what we, at Driveline Baseball, understand about spin rate at this current time. We will hopefully answer some common questions that we receive and well as link out to resources that we’ve found helpful in understanding spin rate. From: How baseball spin influences the performance of a pitcher: Nagami et al. (Open Access) The left side of the picture shows the release angle of this group of pitchers is closer to 30-45 degrees. The picture on the right (from an overhead view) shows how the ball is redirected to the plate. But more specifically, it shows that a fastball at 90 mph (which is lower than the average MLB fastball) at spin rates 2400-2600 produces a greater swing and miss percentage than a 95-mph fastball with a spin rate below 2100 rpm.

At lower speeds (left side of the chart), spin rates can vary wildly. At higher speeds (right side), spin rates exist in a tighter band between about 1,800 and 2,500 rpm. Even that simple piece of knowledge is new to us. A pitcher's Spin Rate represents the rate of spin on a baseball after it is released. It is measured in revolutions per minute. The amount of spin on a pitch changes its trajectory.

Nov 17, 2016 So we can say that at the same velocity the higher the spin rate the more swing and misses the fastball is going to get. This chart from Jeff

May 13, 2017 The Royals lefty doesn't throw very hard, but his spin rate has made him an exceptional reliever. He used to be a hot name, in nerdy baseball circles. Before the 2011 season, Baseball rate works. Just look at this chart:.
