That said, some peoples Change-ups are beter than their curveballs. It's a mix and match, but generally speaking the second best and also the second most frequently thrown ball in professional baseball is the breaking ball. The change-up while still a dominating pitch, is in the back seat to the breaking ball at this moment in time.
You said CB originally is the best off speed pitch, now you changed it to breaking ball which could be a cb, slider, cutter and different than an off speed pitch.
So which did you mean is used more often? The curve or the slider or a cutter, or just that a breaking ball is more often used (which I agree to)?
In generic terms at the HS level, a curveball can mean any kind of breaking pitch. I used it in that context.
