While acknowledging that your view on off speed is well implanted in one camp, I must strongly disagree with it.

Changing the grip alone (e.g., circle change or three finger change), without pushing the ball back in the palm, will take 10-12 mph off the fast ball. And this is without any lower body dragging.

The best c/u is delivered exactly the same as the fastball, except for the grip. This provides the most deceptive pitch, for obvious reasons. It also provides for the best consistency, as it is delivered with exactly the same mechanics as the fastball.

Merely changing the grip provides an extremely consistent velocity.

The fewer different mechanics are used, the greater the overall consistency and command.
