Answer
  1. Wind-up: Stand with one foot on the pitching rubber and take a step forward while beginning a full-circle wind-up with your pitching arm.

  2. Release: Release the ball on the upward swing, aiming to give it an arc that peaks between 6 and 12 feet high.

  3. Follow Through: Let your arm swing naturally across your body to maintain control and complete the motion.
