NCAA 10.2.1.3 The ball must be held and remain in one hand, either bare or gloved.

Note 1: Rolling (not tossing) the ball is legal as long as contact is maintained with the hand including the wrist.

ASA 6.1-A ...... must have the ball in either the glove or pitching hand.
ASA 6.1-D ...... The ball must remain in either the glove or pitching hand.

NFHS never uses the word "remain".

Frankly, I wouldn't make that call in ASA or NFHS; have to in NCAA with that clarity and specificity of wording.
