Webb, Birdsong showcase tweaks in SF Giants' Cactus League home opener
Briefly

Logan Webb, the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day starter, is focusing on mechanical adjustments during spring training. This year, he is experimenting with pivoting his back foot instead of keeping it stationary, which he found limited his performance. Webb believes that by enhancing his foot movement, he can improve his momentum and better control his pitching mechanics, potentially raising the velocity of his sinker. Alongside experimenting with his delivery, Webb is also looking to introduce more cutters and enhance the effectiveness of his changeup pitch.
Webb's altered technique aims to enhance momentum and timing, moving him away from mechanical pitfalls. He feels this could result in increased sinker velocity.
Logan Webb's commitment to refining his pitching mechanics illustrates the balance between performance and preparation that defines a successful spring training experience.
