Pitching continues up over the top and ball is released. Very simple and no rock back. North Carolina pitcher Danielle Spaulding pitches this way.
The way I picture what you're saying: they drop their hands, together, in front of their body, then bring them up together arms extended, with the ball hand finally leaving the glove about half-way up. A large number of girls here do this in front, or to the pitching arm side. This girl is unique in that she comes to rest with the ball above the belt, and never lowers it from there.
