Movement pitches

Some people talk about a lot of college pitchers having bullet spin on most pitches and not correct spin. If this is the case what make them effective? Location or change of speed trying to throw the pitch with correct spin?

spin it!!!!!!!!!!!

Has any one had their spin measured by Rapsodo? Baseball - Rapsodo

Keep in mind that the majority of these tv game callers are ignorant to the specifics they pretend to understand! This is why so many of us have to watch games on mute!
If the guy/gal announcing the call can't read the spin, they'll almost always call it based on its location. Anything high is automatically a rise ball for example.
Bottom line is bullet spin doesn't "move".... it simply maintains the straight directional angle, up, down, left, or right (with gravity either hurting or helping). If she throws hard enough to fight gravity, from a low release angle... to the average guy, it'll be a rise in his opinion (despite the fact it had either forward or bullet spin). But we know that's BS.... Spend more time getting the players to understand spin axis, and the magnus effect. This will produce a higher level pitcher overall.
