All of them use their front glove arm for balance.  It’s hard to explain without writing a novel about it, so I’ll simply show you how MLB pitchers do it right.

 

Take a look at Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander (at 29 seconds).  See how his front arm matches his throwing arm angle?

 

Here is a clip of Brian Wilson (at 12 seconds) for the S.F. Giants.  His arms go further out than Verlanders, but check out the balance.  I also want to point out how his head stays over his center of gravity all the way to foot strike.  perfect.

Here are two more:

Nolan Ryan and Curt Schilling.  At foot strike you can clearly see how they lift their front glove arm into position.
