When learning the change, pitchers tend to extend/straighten their arm to the catcher (guiding the ball) and ultimately let go of it way out in front of their front hip. Depending on the change up, as the arm enters the down swing, and the ball moves in front of the elbow, I have them release as it passes the back hip, and maintain some rigidity/bend in the elbow
