Logan Webb Named Giants' Opening Day Starter Against Reds

San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin has confirmed that ace pitcher Logan Webb will be the Opening Day starter against the Cincinnati Reds on March 27, marking his fourth consecutive year in this role. Webb's performance over the past seasons has solidified his position as the team's leader, with a notable record of 204.2 innings pitched last year and a 3.47 ERA. His rotation will also include veteran pitchers Robbie Ray and Justin Verlander, both of whom will be crucial for the Giants as they aim to compete in a competitive NL West. Melvin expressed confidence in Webb's abilities, indicating that the decision was expected and required no formal discussion prior to the season. As the Giants look to improve on last year's 80-82 record, Webb's performance will be pivotal in their quest for a return to the playoffs. The upcoming season will see Webb facing challenges in a hitter-friendly environment, but he remains a key figure for the Giants' aspirations.
