Kent,

The pitcher may not continue her wind up after releasing the pitch. If she went past her shoulder (12 o'clock) she committed an illegal pitch. If she stopped her arm without passing her shoulder after releasing, she is legal.

You don't usually see this at upper levels. The batter is too likely to drive the pitch directly back at the F1's nose with much more velocity that it was pitched!
