BREAKING – Logan Webb Caps Career-Best Season as Giants’ Ace, Cementing His Place Among MLB’s Most Dominant Pitchers
SAN FRANCISCO — Logan Webb has always been the steady heartbeat of the Giants’ rotation. In 2025, he elevated that role to something far greater. With a career-high 224 strikeouts, 207 innings pitched — the most in the National League — and 15 wins that matched his personal best, Webb put together a season that won’t soon be forgotten in San Francisco.
A Season of Durability and Dominance
At just 29 years old, Webb has already earned the reputation of a workhorse, and this season he embodied that label more than ever. Pitching deep into games became his signature, giving the Giants stability every fifth day. No one in the National League shouldered more innings, and yet his stuff remained electric deep into September.
“I take a lot of pride in being that guy who can give the team everything I’ve got,” Webb said. “It’s about showing up, competing, and putting us in a position to win.”
The Strikeout King
For a pitcher who once relied more on ground balls than punch-outs, Webb’s evolution has been striking. His 224 strikeouts weren’t just a career high — they led the entire league. His sharp sinker-slider combination baffled hitters, while his newfound confidence in elevating the fastball made him nearly unhittable.
“Logan found another gear this season,” manager Bob Melvin said. “He’s always been reliable, but this year he was flat-out dominant.”
The Face of the Franchise
While Webb’s numbers speak volumes, his impact goes beyond statistics. As the Giants navigated a season of ups and downs, Webb was the constant presence, the player teammates looked to for leadership. “He’s the ace in every sense of the word,” outfielder Mike Yastrzemski said. “When Logan takes the mound, you feel like you’re going to win.”
Fans at Oracle Park echoed that sentiment. Each home start felt like an event, with crowds rising to their feet as Webb walked off the mound after another seven or eight innings of brilliance. For a franchise still seeking its next World Series moment, Webb has become the symbol of hope.
Building a Legacy in San Francisco
Webb’s 2025 season has positioned him among the elite pitchers of the game, but it’s also deepened his connection with San Francisco. Born and raised in California, his bond with the Giants has grown stronger each year. “This is home for me,” Webb said. “To wear this uniform and represent this city — it’s everything I dreamed of.”
As the Giants look toward the postseason, Webb’s presence looms as their greatest weapon. His ability to command big games and carry the staff has made him more than just a pitcher. He’s the anchor, the leader, and, in the eyes of Giants fans, the ace who defines their era.
And when the history of Giants baseball is written, 2025 will stand as the year Logan Webb firmly cemented his place among the franchise’s greats.
