Webb, 31, posted career-bests in innings pitched (56.2) and strikeouts (58) with Baltimore in 2024, finishing the season with a 2-5 record, a 3.02 ERA (19 ER/56.2 IP), and 2 saves in 60 appearances out of the Orioles bullpen. Throughout his five-year MLB career, Webb has been utilized exclusively as a reliever, compiling a 12-10 record with a 2.98 ERA (62 ER/187.0 IP), 6 saves, and 186 strikeouts in 192 games. Since 2019, among pitchers with at least 190 appearances, he is one of 20 players to maintain a sub-3.00 ERA.
