The CU is always thrown "OFF" the FB no mater what the count.

Maddux, Hamels, Lincecum, Santana, etc. would probably beg to differ. A changeup can work effectively no matter if it's the first pitch of an at-bat or an 11th pitch of an at-bat. A batter times the arm and the body motion. If a pitcher doesn't believe he can throw a first pitch changeup, then he probably shouldn't think he can throw a first pitch curveball either. A good pitch is a good pitch regardless of when it's thrown.
