After the ball leaves your hand, the only significant force acting on it (ignoring air resistance) is gravity, pulling it downward. The force of your hand no longer influences the ball, the upward force does not change direction (it ceases to exist once the ball is no longer in contact with your hand), and force and velocity are not the same thing; force causes changes in velocity according to Newton's second law of motion.
