San Francisco Giants’ Logan Webb sets tone for playoff push with gritty outing and historic 200th strikeout milestone

San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb delivered a performance that spoke volumes about his durability and grit. Against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Webb struck out seven over six innings, reaching the 200-strikeout mark for the first time in his career.

While he allowed four runs, only one earned, he battled through defensive miscues and gave the Giants a fighting chance in a crucial game for their NL Wild Card hopes.

Logan Webb reaches 200 strikeouts

For years, Logan Webb has been tagged a “sinkerballer,” a label that often undersells his ability to miss bats. That narrative took a hit with his latest milestone, and his numbers now back it up. Webb came close last year with 194 strikeouts, but in 2025, he pushed past the threshold that separates good pitchers from dominant aces.

A key factor in this leap has been his improved four-seam fastball up in the zone, a weapon that induces more swings and misses than ever before. It’s a subtle adjustment that has paid major dividends, elevating him from dependable starter to one of the league’s elite arms.Reaching 200 strikeouts is proof of Webb’s consistency. He’s also on pace for his third straight 200-inning season, reinforcing the value he brings to a Giants team clawing to stay in contention.

Webb may not always get the national spotlight, but within San Francisco, he’s the ace steering their playoff push.
