2024 Fantasy Outlook
Webb led the National League in both innings pitched and K/BB, and in the end he was the runner up for the Cy Young. The struggling Giants offense afforded Webb the worst run support in the league offering him 3.1 runs of support per game while Webb was out there holding opposing offenses to 3.25 runs in his outings. Webb's 11-13 record would have looked different if he had the 4.3 runs of support teammate Alex Cobb received. Webb's 2023 success was built around him trusting his changeup more and cutting back on his slider usage. The changeup is now his primary pitch and it has greatly aided him in limiting the damage from lefties which has been an issue for him in previous seasons. Webb has gone from a guy with questionable durability earlier in his career to someone who has exceeded 190 innings in each of the past two seasons. Now, just get him some run support!

April 14, 2024
Webb (1-1) pitched seven innings in Saturday's win over the Rays, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out four.
ANALYSIS
Webb kept the Rays' lineup at bay throughout the contest despite allowing the leadoff man to reach base in three of his seven innings of work. The right-hander threw 20 first-pitch strikes and produced 14 groundballs on the day while going at least six innings for the third time in four starts to open the season. Webb has surrendered just one home run so far on the campaign and has allowed 23 hits over his last 17.2 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hurt by shift restrictions
PSan Francisco Giants
April 5, 2023
Webb surrendered four runs over five innings during Wednesday's loss to the White Sox and felt the effects of the new shift restrictions, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was hurt by the long ball in his season debut against the Yankees, but Chicago beat him with two doubles and seven singles, multiple of which likely would have been caught by the shift in previous years. Webb has a 56.5 percent groundball rate during his big-league career, so the new shift restrictions may affect him a bit more than strikeout-reliant pitchers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Webb has continued positive gains since ascending to the big league level on a full-time basis with some ups and downs mixed in. He has lowered his ERA each of the past three seasons and has become tougher to hit after altering his pitch mixture to include more sinkers and sliders and fewer four-seam fastballs. The change was necessary as a below average velocity and well below-average spin rate pitchers rarely do well with four-seam fastballs, as Webb learned the hard way in 2020. The repertoire adjustment saw him improve his strikeout rate in 2021 as the league struggled to adjust to the new stuff Webb was spinning to the plate, but those gains were given back this past season as his strikeout rate fell more in line with 2019 and 2020 levels. His approach these days is to pound the lower portions of the zone with the occasional eye-level changing pitch up, which puts an emphasis on the team defense behind him to keep him successful moving forward.
Webb went from project to the main subject of conversation in the San Francisco rotation in the blink of an eye. He entered the 2021 season with a checkered past, both with injuries and a PED suspension, showing some potential around the warts in 2019 and 2020. One month into 2021, it looked like more of the same as he went 1-3 with a 5.34 ERA in his first six starts before everything clicked and he went 10-0 with a 2.40 ERA the rest of the way. Webb retooled his repertoire from previous seasons by ramping up his sinker and slider while cutting back on his four-seamer, so much so that the four-seamer went from his most-used to his least-used pitch from 2020 to 2021. The slider is his best weapon as it generates a swing-and-miss nearly 50% of the time, and the league hit .156 off the pitch last season. The five-pitch repertoire allows him to keep hitters guessing, and lack of a track record is about the only knock against him for 2022.
Had there been a minor-league season and normal rosters, Webb would have been a candidate to be sent down after a sluggish start. He spent the entire season on the active roster, though the Giants did limit the youngster's workload as he averaged around 4.5 innings per start. It's not like the righty took a big step back, but in his age-23 season, some growth from his rookie campaign would have been encouraging. Instead, Webb's K% and BB% worsened from 2019, although both were within range of accepted variance. He recorded a high .333 BABIP, but much of that is residue of a high groundball rate. There's time for Webb to develop into a fantasy-friendly innings eater, useful at favorable home venues like Oracle Park. A low strikeout rate dampens mixed-league stock, but he's in play late in draft-and-hold formats.
Webb missed 80 games early in the season after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug. Less than a month after being reinstated, he earned his first career callup, making his debut in mid-August and remaining in the big leagues the rest of the way. His 5.22 ERA through eight starts isn't very impressive, but the underlying numbers suggest Webb should be a capable enough starting pitcher going forward. His 21.3 K% was only slightly below average, while his 8.1 BB% was average and his 48.8 GB% was fairly strong, resulting in a 4.12 FIP and a 3.89 xFIP. Those numbers are in line with Webb's prospect reports, which generally pegged him as a back-end starter with passable control of a decent repertoire but no standout pitches. He'll only be 23 next season and has plenty of time to develop into something more, but expectations should be modest for now.
