Mack's Mock Pick - #72 - LHP - Ryan Webb

 

Ryan Webb

Mack's spin - 

Webb is the perfect example of how a baseball player can get more valuable to this game every year he plays.

his fastball now tops 95 and he has established himself as both the Friday starter for a team playing in the tough SEC, but also as a future second round pick.

61. LHP Ryan Webb | School: Georgia | B / T: L / L | Ht: 6’1 | Wt: 196lbs | Age: 22.3

Webb has steadily improved during his time at Georgia. The control was very questionable his Freshman year, but has improved year to year. Missing more bats this year as well. he stuff is solid, Fastball in the low 90s T95 with ride up in the zone. His Curveball is a bit inconsistent but generates plus spin and find swing and misses often. Also working in a Slider. The development of his Changeup will be key for his long term success in the rotation in my opinion. All the secondaries have shown ability to miss bats at times.

Georgia LHP Ryan Webb is healthy and pushing himself into the top tier of college LHPs. So far, 8k thru 3 IP today with a deadly 3 pitch mix working well.

Georgia LHP

 

Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 196 | B-T: L-L

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted

Age At Draft: 22.2

 

Webb raised his draft stock dramatically in 2020 when he entered Georgia’s first game of the season in relief of staff ace Emerson Hancock and promptly stole the show from the first-rounder, with 11 strikeouts in five shutout innings. While Webb went undrafted in the five-round draft, it’s hard to see a team passing him up in 2021, even though he’ll be 22 on draft day. After serving mostly as a reliever in his first three seasons with Georgia, Webb will transition to the rotation this spring. He’s an aggressive strike thrower who can mix in four solid pitches, including a 92-96 mph fastball, slider, curveball and changeup. Over 92.1 innings with Georgia, Webb has posted a 3.70 ERA with 101 strikeouts (9.8 K/9) and 45 walks (4.4 BB/9), though his strikeout and walk rates improved dramatically in 2020 thanks to an uptick in stuff. If Webb handles a starting role this spring, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him off the board in the 3-5 round range.

Georgia LHP Ryan Webb could have been drafted in 2020, but wanted to go higher and bet on himself. He's back in Athens, Georgia next Spring, anchoring a stacked Bulldogs rotation. A lefty that throws 95 with a banger curveball? Sign me up. Name to know...

 

 12-9-20  -  Ian Smith @FlaSmitty

 

Georgia LHP Ryan Webb has made massive strides in velocity and vertical break this fall, and will likely be a weekend starter for the Dawgs in 2021. Huge riser on draft boards recently, and likely early round pick in the 2021

 

 11-24-20 - Ian Smith -  @FlaSmitty

 

LHP Ryan Webb will be one of the first college LHP off the board in the 2021 Draft. FB sitting 92-95 T96, while holding velo late in outing this fall. IVB averaging over 20” and nearly 2500rpm of efficient spin. Pairs w/ a high spin, high 70s CB and above avg. CH

 

Joe -  @JoeDoyleMiLB

 

Webb had big, big interest in the 2020 MLB Draft. Number was said to be a little too high, but there were teams that had a 2nd round grade on him. Stuff was ticking up in a shortened season. If he gets the innings in 2021, he could be a Top 50 pick.

146. Ryan Webb - LHP

 

Bio:

Height: 6-1

Weight: 196 lbs

Hits/Throws: L-R

Hometown: Roswell, GA

School: Georgia

 

6-foot-1, 196-pound southpaw has a FB touching 94-95 mph. Curveball, changeup, slider/cutter secondaries. Curveball is 75-80 mph with depth, while the slider is thrown in the 81-84 mph range with less movement but could be an above-average or better offering. Gyro heavy slider. Changeup gives him a fourth average offering in the 82-84 mph with fade. Primarily a reliever in college, the arsenal and ticking fastball/slider combo may encourage a team to push him into a rotation role. There was plenty of interest for Webb in the 2020 draft, though his number was reportedly a little too rich for some teams. That may change with a bigger sample size and bigger bonus pools in 2021.
