Focus Area | Comments |
| Fastball: | Webb threw his fastball up into the mid-90s. |
| Fastball movement: | He muscles the ball to the plate, so it's more about speed than movement. |
| Curve: | It's below average now and needs improvement. |
| Slider: | It's in the same boat as the curve, below average and needing some work. |
| Control: | He is behind in the command department as well. |
| Poise: | He is very aggressive and competitive on the mound. |
| Physical Description: | Webb is a big, strong and physical pitcher. |
| Medical Update: | Healthy. |
| Strengths: | Size, strength and velocity. |
| Weaknesses: | The other facets of his game -- namely, command and his secondary pitches, all lag behind the heater. |
| Summary: | There are things about Webb that scouts love: his size, his strength, his aggressiveness on the mound. Most of all, there's the velocity, which gets up to the mid-90s. What's lacking are other pitches -- his curve and slider are below-average -- and his command. The team that has seen enough glimpses in those areas that convince them he'll improve will take a flier on his arm strength. That could happen within the first few rounds. |
