US EditionWorld Baseball Classic Glance
- On Sunday, Logan Webb made his final Cactus League start in Scottsdale Stadium, allowing one run over three innings, striking out three and retiring the final seven batters before throwing 15 bullpen pitches.
- The Giants had Webb ramp up to about a 60-pitch outing, and he will join Team USA practice Monday at Papago Park before a Tuesday exhibition at Scottsdale Stadium.
- Webb leaned heavily on his change-up and sinker nearly 70% of the time on Sunday, with the change-up averaging 85.1 mph inducing nine swings and three whiffs and the sinker at 91.8 mph producing swings and called strikes.
- Webb is expected to be part of Team USA's multi-start plan, slated to make multiple starts with Paul Skenes but likely pitching in only two games within an elite rotation.
- While Webb is gone, the Giants will work through their rotation including Robbie Ray, Adrian Houser, and Tyler Mahle, with Landen Roupp likely the fifth starter for opening day on March 25; Joe Ryan's injury led to Ryan Yarbrough replacing him for Team USA pool play.
