Logan Webb Allows Three Hits, Two Earned Runs In Spring Debut
9 months agoSan Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb made his spring debut on Saturday in an 8-4 Cactus League loss to the Chicago Cubs. Last year's NL Cy Young award runner-up threw two innings, allowing three hits, two earned runs, and striking out two while walking none. The former fourth-round MLB draft pick had the highest percentage of ground balls last season at 62.1% which helped him lead the league in ground ball double plays as well (30). After a leadoff single by Mike Tauchman, he was able to get Nick Madrigal to ground into a double play. Webb was also among the league leaders in K/BB in 2023, and with two Ks and zero BBs Saturday, it appears we'll see more of the same again this season from the Giants' ace. Webb is the 16th pitcher coming off draft boards (63rd overall) and should be a solid number two starter on fantasy pitching staffs with some upside (RotoBaller rank is 56th overall).
