Teams value spin rate data for what it says about performance, and it is measured at all ballparks by rotations per minute through Statcast. The faster the spin, the more breaking pitches move and the more velocity pitchers get on their fastballs, which means more swings and misses, more strikeouts and more dominance. It’s one of the most effective illegal substances, and it allows for improved grip and friction, which can markedly accelerate the spin rate of pitches. It’s also available in 9 ounces and 24 ounces.

It’s sold on Amazon, a 2.5-ounce container for $19.99 plus shipping. It also comes in light strength, which works well in the cold, and heavy strength, which is more adhesive and less webby and works well on the hottest days. The rosin-based chemical mixture was developed for power lifters to keep a tighter hold on Atlas stones when hoisting these globe-like mini-boulders (up to 353 pounds) in Strongman competitions.Īccording to the Spider Tack website, the original strength is called competition grade, which works in cold and warm temperatures.
Spider Tack was not developed for pitchers. While waiting for MLB to start policing its own rules on illegal gunk, here’s what you need to know about Spider Tack. It’s about supercharged formulas that dramatically helped alter the balance of power between pitcher and hitter - we’ve come a long way from Gaylord Perry’s Vaseline and KY Jelly - and the most notable of these substances is an extremely sticky, web-like pasty material called Spider Tack.
