Since making his MLB debut in 2019, Logan Webb<\/a> has played with an array of veteran players during his Giants tenure.<\/p>\n

On the latest \u201cKylen\u2019s Kwik Hits\u201d with NBC Sports Bay Area\u2019s Kylen Mills, the 29-year-old reflected on who his biggest mentors were early on in his major league career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a couple,\u201d Webb told Mills. \u201cI\u2019ve had so many good older guys to learn from. Brandon Crawford<\/a> is probably easily the biggest one just because, he\u2019s from here like I am. I think we were born in the same hospital. He was a fourth-round pick, I was a fourth-round pick. He\u2019s one of my best friends, so I learned a lot from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford spent 13 of his 14 MLB seasons with San Francisco, and by the time Webb made his debut, the star shortstop already had helped the Giants win a pair of World Series titles and was a two-time All-Star.<\/p>\n

As for veteran pitchers, Webb said one especially helped him along the way \u2013 even though their playing time together was short.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably the second one is Kevin Gausman<\/a>,\u201d Webb told Mills. \u201cI know he wasn\u2019t here as long as I wish he was here, but he was great to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gausman, who made his big-league debut in 2013, played a pair of seasons with the Giants in 2020, ’21 and even earned his first All-Star nod with the team in his second season.<\/p>\n

Webb \u2013 who has played in three All-Star games of his own \u2013 has gone from a young hurler to being a leader on the Giants staff and, barring a shocking move<\/a> at the 2026 MLB trade deadline, likely will continue for years to come.<\/p>\n
