Amateur career

[edit | edit source]

Webb attended Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma. He played for the school's baseball team and committed to attend the University of South Carolina (USC) to play college baseball for the South Carolina Gamecocks.[1] He was also considered a top prospect in the 2014 Major League Baseball draft.[2] Owasso's baseball team went undefeated in 2013, his junior year, and Webb had a 1.98 earned run average (ERA).[3]

In 2014, his senior year, Webb began the baseball season with two no-hitters, but was injured in his third start and required Tommy John surgery. He went unselected in the 2014 draft, but USC followed through with his college scholarship. He missed the rest of the 2014 season and all of 2015 while recovering. The Cleveland Indians selected Webb in the 38th round, with the 1,144th overall selection, of the 2015 MLB draft,[3] but Webb did not sign, and pitched for the Gamecocks in 2016.[4][5] He had a 10–6 win–loss record, a 3.09 ERA, and 128 strikeouts in 102 innings pitched. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named him their Freshman of the Year.[6]
