TRUE SPINRPMs that contribute to spin related movement Top/back = vertical movementSide spin = horizontal movementGyro/bullet spin = no spin related movement
SPIN DIRECTION
Spin direction averages vary by player
RELEASE HEIGHT AND RELEASE SIDE
Release Side - The distance from the center of rubber at release from the pitchers point of view
Release Height - Vertical height above the ground when pitch is released
RELEASE ANGLE AND HORIZONTAL ANGLERelease Angle = Vertical degree when the ball leaves the hand Horizontal Angle = Directional degree when the ball leaves the hand (left is negative and right is positive) This is true no matter LHP vs RPH.
3D BALL FLIGHT
STRIKE ZONE
Dashed line shows ball path with no spin related movement. Solid line is actual ball path
Break Markers - Show the 1st inch of spin related break and the 2nd inch of substantial movement.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL BREAK
Vertical Break – Created from back/top spin RPMs. Higher spin efficiency results in higher Vertical Break
Horizontal Break – Created from side spin RPMs. Horizontal break is maximized at spin directions 3:00 and 9:00
Break Chart – Shown from pitcher point of view. Spin induced break is shown in inches.
