"I think Bob's a perfect guy for that"- Logan Webb confident of Giants' upward trajectory under Bob Melvin

The San Francisco Giants’ future is in good hands as per the team’s ace pitcher, Logan Webb. The Giants have a lot of young prospects who will make their debut with the team and will be in key positions for the upcoming 2024 season.

In a recent interview with the MLB Network, Webb affirmed his belief in the Giants’ manager Bob Melvin.

“I think Bob coming in and the pedigree he brings and the experience he brings is going to be so huge for us,” Webb said. “We got a ton of young guys, especially on the starting staff. You know, a lot of young pitchers coming up. I'm super excited for them and I think Bob is a perfect guy for that.”

“There's a standard that he's setting you know. I think yeah, he's big on being on time and just all the little things right. I think that's important to have,” Logan Webb added.

Melvin, who is managing his fifth major league team, led the San Diego Padres to the National League Series in 2022. He has signed a three-year contract with the Giants and can prove vital to lead the team to new heights.

The Giants and the hot corner agreed to a $54 million three-year contract with opt-outs after the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
