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.
You answered for eagle. I wanted him to look them up. Hahahaha
