Logan Webb leads MLB in innings pitched since 2022 and is one of just two starters ( Gerrit Cole ) since 2019 to have back-to-back seasons of 200 + innings.

The San Francisco Giants right-hander says he wants to get to 220 innings in the next few years .

Webb says he learned from Johnny Bumgarner , Matt Cain , Jake Peavy , Tim Hudson , Jeff Samardzija and Johnny Cueto .

The Giants ace has been top 10 in fewest pitches per at-bat over the last two seasons .

Webb is a case study in the link between the past and the future.

Baseball has been trying to keep pitchers healthy and also allowing them to pitch more often.

Webb: "I don't think there will ever be an emphasis on less stuff in baseball".
