I watched a bunch of video and stills that Mike White (pitching coach for Team USA) brought to a conference and they all showed that "follow through" as we know it, does not really happen. In reality, the hand actually extends and brings the arm straight towards the catcher long after release, and not until this happens does the pitcher actually "follow through" with whatever style they are taught. It didn't matter if they tried to do a hello elbow or opposite shoulder, the slow motion was all the same after release, meaning that taught follow through has no impact on pitching and cannot be used as a tool to analyze pitching motion.
Just thought I'd throw that out as an FYI.
