Logan Webb, the Giants’ right-handed ace, will look to find some consistency when he takes the mound on Sunday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies. Webb has had a solid season overall, but he has also had some ups and downs. In his last start, he allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Webb has been better at home than on the road this season, with a 3.06 ERA in 12 starts at Oracle Park compared to a 4.15 ERA in 10 starts away from home. He has also been better against left-handed hitters than right-handed hitters, with a 2.96 ERA against lefties and a 4.31 ERA against righties.
The Rockies have been a tough team for Webb to face in his career, as he is 6-2 with a 3.97 ERA in 12 career starts against them. However, he did not get a decision in the Giants’ 5-4 win at Colorado last month, allowing four runs in 5 1/3 innings.
The Giants are looking to finish the first half of the season strong, and they will need Webb to be a key contributor if they want to make a run at the playoffs. He has the talent to be a top-of-the-rotation starter, but he needs to find a way to be more consistent. If he can do that, he will be a major asset to the Giants for years to come.
Here are some other stats about Logan Webb:
- He has struck out 107 batters in 121 innings this season.

- He has a slider, changeup, and curveball.
- He is 26 years old.
