Step 4: Release and Follow through

Bring your right arm forward, rotate your hips, release the ball out in front of you, towards home plate, and swing your right leg forward. Your front leg will laterally rotate, as it will now be facing your target. It is important to accomplish plantar flexion (ankle downwards)  before landing, as you should land on the front of your foot, not your calcaneous (heel). The throwing motion is in a diagonal plane, as your body moves diagonally.
