Bob Melvin confirmed that Logan Webb will be the San Francisco Giants' Opening Day starter against the Cincinnati Reds on March 27, marking Webb's fourth consecutive year in this role. Melvin noted that Webb, a key player who finished sixth in NL Cy Young Award voting last season, exemplifies leadership within the pitching staff. His past performances on Opening Day include a 3.50 ERA over 18 innings. Webb joins an elite group of pitchers to start four consecutive season openers for the Giants, reflecting his established role and reputation.
Melvin told reporters on Friday morning that Webb will be the Giants' Opening Day starter against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark on March 27.
Webb, who finished sixth in NL Cy Young Award voting last season, becomes the fourth Giant since the team moved to San Francisco to start four consecutive Opening Days.
He's our guy, Melvin said. He came up in the system. There's a lot of love about Logan.
Once he gets to camp, it's all scheduling to Opening Day, Melvin said. Very goal oriented and knows what he needs to accomplish by that day.
