Jacob Webb's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Jacob Webb earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. Webb came in to pitch the top of the eighth inning up by two with two outs and a runner on first. He struck out Aaron Judge and stayed on to pitch the ninth, delivering a 1-2-3 performance with two more strikeouts. Craig Kimbrel (back) is day-to-day with back tightness, so Webb was called upon to close things out. The 30-year-old has pitched well this season, compiling a 2.03 ERA with a 10.13 K/9 rate and two holds in 13 1/3 innings of work. He could be useful in deeper saves-plus-holds leagues, but his save opportunities will be limited once Kimbrel returns.

Right-hander Jacob Webb won his salary arbitration hearing against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday and will earn $1 million in 2024. The 30-year-old will get a $260,000 raise from a season ago after posting a 3.69 ERA (4.48 FIP) with a 1.29 WHIP, one save, 30 walks and 57 strikeouts in 53 2/3 relief innings for the Los Angeles Angels and Orioles last season. The Orioles claimed him off waivers from the Halos last August, and he will once again serve in a middle-relief role for Baltimore in 2024. In Webb's four major-league seasons, he has a solid 2.97 ERA (4.19 FIP), four saves, a 1.29 WHIP and a 23.0 percent strikeout rate in 130 1/3 innings over 132 appearances out of the bullpen. Webb won't be on the fantasy radar at all.
