Earlier this afternoon, Kerry Crowley of the San Jose Mercury News reported that a source told him Logan Webb, the Giants’ top pitching prospect, would make his major league debut this Saturday in Arizona. Just a few minutes ago, Alex Pavlovic reported that Webb has arrived in Arizona, all but confirming Crowley’s report.
The team hasn’t said anything yet, although earlier in the week, Farhan Zaidi was on KNBR talking about this exact scenario, so, really, this should come as no surprise. On the other hand, consider everything that’s led to this call-up: Logan Webb has been in the Giants’ system since he was 17 years old.
