Having a Logan Webb on your team is a good thing. It’s a swell strategy. Were I a baseball consultant, one of the first things I would recommend to my clients would be that they acquire a Logan Webb, or a close approximation. And then I’d get paid handsomely for such smart thoughts.
The beauty of having Webb is knowing that every fifth day you’ll almost surely have a chance to win. In 2023, Webb made 33 starts and pitched at least five innings in 32 of them. He made it through at least six innings and allowed no more than two runs in well over half of his starts.
