Those stitches are what "chews" into the wind when you like to throw a breaking ball. Additionally, a knuckleball that barely spins eats at the wind using the stitches on the ball and this enables it to drop, sail or rise.

In short, the stitches makes the ball air resistant or cut into air making it faster.
