Despite clinching playoff spot, Chiefs ‘know we have to get better’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After being claimed off waivers by the Orioles in the late part of the 2023 season, Webb made an immediate impact. During his two seasons in Baltimore, Webb was a\u00a0consistently reliable bullpen piece\u00a0who got key outs when the Orioles needed them. Now, Webb, only 25, will hit the free agent market looking to find a home. The Orioles non-tendered Webb, making him a free agent, but a reunion is still a possibility.<\/p>\n

Webb\u2019s Journey To Baltimore<\/h3>\n

Jacob Webb\u2019s career began in 2019 while playing for the Atlanta Braves. There, Webb spent parts of three seasons and earned a World Series ring in 2021 after appearing in 34 regular season games, and even 2 playoff games. Then, in 2022, Webb did not make an MLB appearance. So, Webb signed a minor league deal with the Angels, hoping to make the roster. Webb did make the roster and pitched in 34 games before being DFA\u2019d over halfway through the 2023 season. That is when the Orioles swooped in, claimed Webb, and gave him a spot in the bullpen.<\/p>\n

Jacob Webb As An Oriole<\/h3>\n

As an Oriole, Webb was an exceptional pitcher.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Webb made an immediate impact. He started his career as an Oriole with 9 straight scoreless outings, which earned him a key role in the bullpen. In that spot, Webb was dominant and helped the Orioles clinch the American League East division title. In the 25 games he pitched, Webb had just a 3.27 ERA and did not give up a home run.<\/p>\n

Following up on his impressive 2023 run was going to be tough, but Webb found a way. During the 2024 season, Webb appeared in 6o games and had just a 3.02 ERA. Webb struck out 9.2 batters per 9 innings and had a 24.5 K%. While the Orioles bullpen struggled, Webb did not and was a steady force for the Orioles.<\/p>\n
