Knowing a pitchers Bauer Units can be really useful for comparing across different velocities. But I think one thing many people get wrong is only focusing on high spin rate.  A Bauer Unit that is 22 (low spin rate relative to velocity) is equally as effective.  It plays out as a sinking fastball and 2 seams are even more effective.  Essentially what is not good is to have an average Bauer Unit (24) since whatever the velocity is, it's much easier to time up and locate since batters get used to seeing them.  Being an outlier on either side of the scale is better.

Yes that's exactly right. Thanks for the reply.
