when a ball is thrown vertically upwards it's velocity goes on decreasing due to gravitational pull by the earth.
We know that potential energy means" An energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.
When the velocity becomes zero, it acquires gravitational potential energy.
When the velocity becomes zero the body will fall down because gravitational pull is more than velocity in this case.

Answer:
When a ball is thrown in an upward direction, its velocity decreases continuously but its potential energy goes on increasing. As the ball reaches to a maximum height, the kinetic energy gradually gets converted into potential energy of the ball. At the highest point where the velocity of the ball becomes zero, the potential energy of the ball becomes maximum. Because all of the kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.
