Early Life and Background
Logan Tyler Webb was born on November 18, 1996, in Rocklin, California, where he attended Rocklin High School. As a senior pitcher for the baseball team, Webb posted exceptional numbers, recording a 0.49 earned run average and striking out 73 batters in 57 and two-thirds innings pitched. His overpowering stuff was on display as his fastball reached 96 miles per hour. These standout performances earned him Sacramento Bee All-Metro honors and Cal-Hi Sports All-State recognition, signaling his potential as a professional prospect.
Webb grew up with a passion for baseball and developed his craft in the Northern California baseball scene. His exceptional high school career put him on the radar of MLB scouts, leading to his selection in the 2014 MLB Draft. Beyond his athletic pursuits, Webb has overcome a significant personal challenge. He is legally blind and was diagnosed with severe astigmatism in third or fourth grade when he had difficulty seeing the ball, making his rise to MLB even more remarkable.
Path to Professional Baseball
The San Francisco Giants selected Webb in the fourth round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft. He signed for a signing bonus of $600,000, above the designated amount for his draft position. At just 17 years old, Webb made his professional debut with the Arizona League Giants, pitching four innings in his first professional appearance.
Webb spent the next several years developing through the minor leagues. He played for the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes in 2015 and the Augusta GreenJackets in 2016, where his progress was interrupted by Tommy John surgery in 2016. The surgery required a significant rehabilitation period, but Webb returned to pitch for Salem-Keizer in 2017, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.89 ERA in 28 relief innings while striking out 31 batters.
In 2018, Webb advanced to the San Jose Giants and Richmond Flying Squirrels, combining to go 2-5 with a 2.41 ERA in 27 games with 26 starts. His strong season earned him CAL mid-season All-Star honors. Following the 2018 campaign, the Giants added Webb to their 40-man roster, protecting him from the Rule 5 Draft and signaling their belief in his future contributions.

Driving Style and Strengths
Webb is a right-handed sinkerballer who primarily relies on a mix of his sinker, slider, and changeup. His pitching repertoire also includes a four-seam fastball, though he throws it much less frequently. Webb releases the ball from a sidearm slot that maximizes the unique movement of his pitches, creating difficult angles for hitters. After ditching his cutter following the 2021 season, he added it back to his arsenal in the middle of the 2024 season after struggling with pitching to left-handed batters.
Notable Events and Milestones
Webb reached several significant milestones during his career. He recorded his 1,000th career strikeout against Aaron Judge on Opening Day. Webb also made two starts for Team USA during the 2026 World Baseball Classic, including a scoreless performance in the quarterfinals against Canada. In the 2026 tournament, Team USA won the gold medal, with Webb contributing two starts in pool play and the quarterfinal round.
