Why he matters right now
Logan Webb is top-10 in the majors in WHIP
He is 9th in WHIP at 1.06 — placements on MLB's own season boards, which rank every QUALIFIED pitcher in the sport rather than the few dozen this site tracks. Qualified is MLB's own bar, and it is the reason a part-season player with a big number is not on these boards at all.
New on this page tonight.
The case in 30 seconds
- 1.06 9th in WHIP at 1.06 on MLB's season leaderboards MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- 3.50 ERA over 139 innings, with 110 strikeouts, 22 starts and a 1.06 WHIP snapshot pitching board — the union of MLB's top-10 pitching boards, then MLB's 1.0 IP per team game rule applied; not the league's full qualified pool
The honest caveat
His changeup has averaged 85.5 mph over his last 3 starts against a 86.0 mph baseline. That is a measured change in the pitch, not a diagnosis of the pitcher. It does not undo the case above; it is the part of the record that argues the other way.
What to watch next
Next up: vs Colorado Rockies.

Other cases this page considered and did not lead with: Logan Webb's changeup has been sitting below his own baseline.
