This has been studied a lot and there’s really no evidence that holding the ball this way improves velocity. I played fast pitch softball for 8 years and had to quit as a sophomore and still received a couple D1 college offers. I do think finding a seam in any fashion helps with grip and therefore accuracy, but velocity comes down to form and strength. A good wrist snap helps a ton.
