A strike !!!!!
That's a curve. Slider has a similar grip, but the only difference is you don't whip your wrist with the slider like you do a curve. A slider, you just hold with that grip but throw like a fast ball.
This is also the grip of a two-seam fastball ... same arm slot as well.
Also, some throw the curve (I did) by spiking their index finger knuckle into the ball while their middle finger rides the seam. This results in a sharper break (but harder to command) ... especially on the 12-6 variety.
