That's an interesting photo. Judging by Hubbell's upright position, it looks like he's having a casual game of catch (as opposed to warming up for a game). Yet his hand is in a position that indicated he probably threw a screwball (or fadeaway). Given how much stress that pitch causes on the arm, you'd think he wouldn't have thrown it while playing catch (much like someone like Bert Blyleven wouldn't snap off curveballs in such a setting). Of course maybe he was really throwing harder than it appears. Regardless, the photo does a great job illustrating the impact throwing the screwball had on Hubbell's arm.
