We all know Logan Webb is a tough customer. Jacob Wilson calls him the toughest pitcher he’s faced in the big leagues, with Jonah Bride presumably coming in a close second. Webb dominated the A’s earlier this season, as well as in his start against them last year. This season Webb boasts a 2.61 ERA.
There are many things it is hard to do against Webb, including stringing hits together and taking him deep — Webb has allowed just 7 HR all season in 113.2 IP. He walks fewer than 2 batters per 9 IP and generally gets deep into games.
