The first step is keeping the throwing hand next to the glove and properly positioned whenever possible. That eliminates one time waster. Secondly, bring the ball up toward the throwing shoulder in the glove while you are getting your grip. This will make the transfer easier and allow you to get the four seam grip with less risk of dropping or bobbling. Finally, never "pat" the ball back in the glove. There are other specifics based on whether you are talking IF or OF, fly or grounder, or the MIF pivot. And there are other factors that figure into a quick release. Footwork certainly being one.
