The throw was completely within the exchange zone and in the team's lane and the baton never hit the ground. Is that illegal?

You can not throw a baton. If you throw a baton after a race you are DQ also (but that is for sportsmanship). A baton must be passed hand to hand.

I figured that was the correct call but just wanted clarification.
