How is San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb so unhittable?
during Tuesday night's 5-1 win at Oracle Park, outdueling Luis Severino with eight shutout innings. He scattered six hits and one walk while striking out four, throwing 75 of his 106 pitches for strikes.
As usual, Webb excelled by keeping the ball on the ground, inducing a whopping 15 groundouts. He hasn't given up a run in his last 19 innings and is now 3-1 with a 2.33 ERA and a 2.77 FIP across an MLB-high 38 2/3 innings.Webb, who led the majors in innings last year as well, has quietly been one of the best pitchers in baseball over the past three years. Since the beginning of 2021, Webb has gone 40-26 with a 3.02 ERA, a 2.98 FIP and a 1.11 WHIP in nearly 600 innings.
The 27-year-old right-hander doesn't strike a ton of batters out relative to his peers and doesn't throw particularly hard , but he's still able to shut down opposing lineups by limiting his mistakes and generating tons of weak contact. He's only allowed one home run and seven walks in six starts this year, which makes it tough for opponents to have big innings. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of the batted balls he allows stay on the ground.
Webb keeps his defense busy, but he proves it's still possible to succeed by pitching to contact in an era defined by record strikeout rates.
