Fri Apr 14 2023 | 12:00 | Giants, Logan Webb Agree To Five-Year Extension |
The San Francisco Giants and starting pitcher Logan Webb agreed to a five-year, $90 million contract extension on Friday. Webb has gotten off to a rough start in 2023, but he's still deserving of this big extension after being one of the best pitchers in baseball the last few years. He went 15-9 in 2022 with a career-low 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 32 starts covering a career-high 192 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old is the Giants unquestioned ace this year, although he's allowed 12 runs (nine earned) on 18 hits (four home runs allowed) so far in 17 innings over three starts. Webb has walked only three and struck out 22, though, so he should bounce back sooner than later if he can avoid the long ball. |

Tue Apr 11 2023 | 12:23 | Logan Webb Loses Third Straight Game |
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has gotten off to a rough start in 2023. He dropped his third straight start on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 9-1 loss, allowing four runs on six hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out six in six innings pitched. Webb should eventually be able to turn things around for his fantasy managers, but it hasn't been pretty for the 26-year-old right-hander early on. Through his first three starts, he's allowed 12 earned runs on 19 hits (four homers allowed) while walking three and striking out 22 in 17 frames. Webb's strikeout-to-walk rate is encouraging, so if he can keep the ball in the park moving forward, he should be alright. |

Sat Apr 1 2023 | 14:37 | Logan Webb Next Start Moved Up |
San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb will make his next start on Wednesday, the second of three meetings with the Chicago White Sox. Anthony DeSclafani will begin the series on the bump, with Alex Wood on track to close out the series on Thursday. Webb had 12 strikeouts in the opening day loss to the New York Yankees. However, he finished with an ugly 6.00 ERA in six innings. Of course, the 26-year-old right-hander has a chance to turn things around versus Chicago, so fantasy managers should be optimistic moving ahead. |

Tue Mar 14 2023 | 13:53 | Logan Webb Named Opening Day Starter |
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb will start the team's Opening Day contest against the New York Yankees on the road. Right-hander Alex Cobb will pitch the second game, while manager Gabe Kapler said the rest of the rotation is still being sorted out. Nobody should be surprised by Webb getting the Opening Day nod after he had a career-best 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 192 1/3 innings over 32 starts in his fourth year with the team. The 26-year-old should be considered a top-30 fantasy starter in upcoming drafts. Webb finds success not by overpowering hitters, but by using pinpoint location and movement on his pitches. It helps that he resides in a very pitcher-friendly home park. |

Tue Feb 28 2023 | 00:44 | Logan Webb Scuffles In Spring Debut Monday |
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb looked rusty in his first spring appearance in Monday's 8-6 win over the Angels. Webb pitched 2 innings, allowing two runs on four hits (including a two-run home run) and no walks with a strikeout. This is not all that concerning, as the 26-year-old was making his first appearance with the new rules. Webb had a solid 2022 season, going 15-9 with a 2.90 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 20.7% strikeout rate. It is worth noting that he did see a drop in strikeout rate and relies heavily on ground balls, which could be impacted by the new shift restrictions. Regardless, Webb should serve as a high-floor, higher-end fantasy starter and currently has a reasonable draft position as the 44th pitcher off the board. |

Sun Feb 5 2023 | 13:13 | Giants Discussing Extension With Logan Webb |
The San Francisco Giants have had discussions with starting pitcher Logan Webb this offseason about a long-term contract extension. Webb ended the 2022 season on the injured list with a back ailment, but he was great otherwise with a 15-9 record, career-best 2.90 ERA (3.03 FIP), 1.16 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 32 starts over 192 1/3 innings pitched. The strong season came after the 26-year-old right-hander broke out in 2021 in his third year with the organization, posting an 11-3 record, 3.03 ERA (2.72 FIP), 1.11 WHIP and 158 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings. Webb has morphed into a top-level starting pitcher in both real life and fantasy, which makes sense why he's being considered a candidate for a long-term extension. |

He struck out just two batters. Fantasy managers surely expected more than the 103 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings that Webb has offered this year, but his 2.77 ERA and 1/12 WHIP have more than made up for it. He currently has quality starts in eight consecutive outings. |

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb nearly went the distance in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Phillies.

Webb now has a 5-1 record with a 3.52 ERA, 50 strikeouts, and 14 walks over 10 starts and 61 1/3 IP. The strikeouts haven't been quite what fantasy managers had hoped for, but this outing was certainly encouraging. Webb will look to rack up more punchouts in his next start at the Marlins. |

Thu May 19 2022 | 08:58 | Logan Webb Posts Quality Start At Coors Field Wednesday |
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb turned in a quality start at the league's toughest pitching venue, Coors Field, on Wednesday. He pitched seven innings and allowed four hits, two walks and three earned runs while striking out six Rockies. He wound up with a no decision. Through eight starts this year, Webb is 5-1 with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. His strikeout rate is down substantially from 26.5% last year to 17% this year. The strides he made in strikeouts last year helped fuel his breakout 2021 campaign, so he'll likely need to start missing more bats soon to remain a high-end fantasy pitcher. |

Fri May 13 2022 | 14:02 | Logan Webb Looking To Rebound In Friday's Start |
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb will try to bounce back on Friday after a rough outing his last time around. He'll be pitching against the St. Louis Cardinals, opposite Jordan Hicks. In Webb's last start, he went five innings with seven strikeouts, two walks, four earned runs, and eight hits allowed. The strikeout numbers haven't been there yet, with just an 18% strikeout rate, compared to 26.5% last season. Considering his career strikeout rate is 23%, fantasy managers have reason to believe Webb won't be the same pitcher we saw in 2021. However, the 25-year-old's still limiting walks (5.3 BB%) and owns a 4-1 record with a 3.82 ERA, so he's still providing fantasy value. |

Thu Apr 28 2022 | 08:47 | Logan Webb Sitting At 2-1 After Four Starts |
San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb is off to a solid start to the 2022 season. He's posted quality starts in three of his four outings and has a 2-1 record to go along with a 2.96 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. Webb had a breakout season in 2021 thanks to his ability to limit hard contact. He allowed a barrel rate of just 5.6% last year, which ranked in the 83rd percentile. Batters also had a minuscule xSLG of .329 against him (87th percentile). Both of those metrics have moved slightly in the wrong direction through the early going this year. He's allowed a 6.5% barrel rate and batters have a .410 xSLG against him. However, he's allowing an average exit velocity of 85.8 mph, which is way down from last year's clip (88.1 mph) so he's still most definitely keeping batters at bay. Webb will look to claim his third win of the year on Saturday, when he'll go up against the Washington Nationals. |

Thu Apr 14 2022 | 12:15 | Logan Webb Goes Eight Strong Innings Wednesday |
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb became the first player in the majors to pitch eight innings in an outing on Wednesday afternoon, allowing just one run on four hits and no walks to pick up his first win of the season. He struck out eight batters. With just 96 pitches, Webb may have been allowed to finish the game if not for the abbreviated spring training. The Giants have now won 15 consecutive regular-season Webb starts, and it appears his breakout 2021 was no fluke. Fantasy managers should have confidence that he can sustain excellent ratios and strikeout numbers as a borderline SP1. |

Sun Apr 10 2022 | 11:34 | Logan Webb Expected To Make Next Start |
The San Francisco Giants aren't concerned with starting pitcher Logan Webb's ankle injury, which he sprained covering first base on Friday. Webb may decrease his workload between starts, but he's expected to make his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed only one run on five hits while striking out three in six-plus innings in his season debut on Friday against the Miami Marlins in a no-decision. The Giants could be a bit more careful with him in his second start next week, but the good news is that this isn't an injury that should cause him to go on the injured list. However, with a possible lower pitch count and against a good Padres lineup, Webb will be a bit more risky in DFS. |
