PITCHf/x Pitcher Profile

A Collaboration between BrooksBaseball.net and Baseball Prospectus - Pitch classifications provided by Pitch Info LLC


Although he has not thrown an MLB pitch in 2024, Ryan Webb threw 6,009 pitches that were tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2009 and 2016, all of them occuring in Spring Training. In 2016, he relied primarily on his Sinker (92mph), Slider (81mph) and Change (84mph). He also rarely threw a Fourseam Fastball (90mph).
