The rotation of a thrown Baseball, or any other ball, compounded by the stitching on a ball, creates lift/drag as it moves through the air, accomplishing each type of pitch- fastball, curve ball, change-up, etc. As an aside, the "knuckleball" is thrown with as little rotation as possible, which causes the more erratic movement as it passes through the air towards home plate.
