Honestly if your form is correct, it uses a lot. Your legs especially, your quads in your legs give your entire body power, while supporting your weight and making you more stable. Obviously your forearm, bicep, and triceps being the 3 major muscles of the arm. You shoulder, traps, and upper and lower back, because your entire body moves with the throw, your abdominal play a part in posture and support as well, and your obliques because of the twisting motion your body makes when thrown correctly.
