The surface of the ball is not smooth. The pores of the leather and the sewing of the thread gives the ball a non-uniform aerodynamic surface.
By causing the ball to spin forward relative to the flight of travel, the ball will create a lower pressure zone above the ball and the ball will rise up at the expense of losing energy more quickly.
By causing the ball to spin in other directions relative to the path of flight the ball will fly accordingly.
The threading adds certain qualities to the aerodynamics that can be used by the pitcher to accentuate certain behaviors.
