Step 5: Follow Through

After the release of the ball, the throwing arm should swing down across the body in a curvillinear motion.  It should appear as if the hand will touch the upper thigh. At the same time, the glove hand should swing down past the corresponding leg in order to create stability and balance around your center of gravity.  In powerful throws, the corresponding leg to the throwing arm will follow along a curved path to create balance in the follow through.
