Webb joins Bumgarner, Lincecum in elite Giants strikeout club<\/a> originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a><\/p>\n

Another stellar outing from Logan Webb has placed the Giants\u2019 No. 1 starter in elite company with a pair of aces from San Francisco\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

Webb stuck out 10 while walking none in the Giants\u2019 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves<\/a> on Saturday at Oracle Park, marking the fifth such time he has recorded at least 10 punchouts without walking a batter in the same outing.<\/p>\n

Madison Bumgarner (12) and Tim Lincecum (5) are the only other pitchers in franchise history to accomplish that feat at least five times in a Giants uniform.<\/p>\n

After Saturday\u2019s win<\/a>, Webb revealed his Giants teammates haven\u2019t let his high strikeout numbers this season go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the guys joke around with me because I\u2019ve always said I\u2019m not a strikeout guy, but I think this year, just mixing things up and trying to do different things and having a really good game plan has just kind of elevated that,\u201d Webb told reporters. \u201cA lot of games left, I feel like I\u2019m always due for a one-strikeout game or a two-strikeout game, but hopefully I\u2019ll keep that trend up. Makes things a little easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webb is one of only four pitchers in MLB to eclipse 100 strikeouts<\/a> during the 2025 season, with his 101 punchouts ranking second in the National League, trailing only Washington Nationals southpaw Mackenzie Gore (108).<\/p>\n

While the strikeout statistics certainly standout, Webb is confident he always has had the ability to rack up gaudy punchout numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve always been able to strike people out,\u201d Webb said after Saturday\u2019s win. \u201cI look back at some of the years, (2023) I feel like I was close to nine (strikeouts) per nine (innings), (2021) I feel like I struck out more guys. I think there\u2019s a lot of other things that go into it. It\u2019s the scouting part of it, it\u2019s the throwing the right pitches at the right time, setting guys up and as a collection we\u2019ve done a really good job of that \u2026 Having [Justin Verlander] and [Robbie Ray] who are both very good strikeout pitchers, having both those guys here has been very helpful for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily that I\u2019m trying to go out there and strike everybody out, I think It\u2019s just getting to the point where I\u2019m able to maybe set people up better for it and at that point, just try it out, try and get the strikeout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever approach Webb is taking this season is being reflected in his numbers, as the seven-year MLB veteran is posting a 2.58 ERA<\/a> in 87.1 innings pitched this season.<\/p>\n
