Giants pitcher Logan Webb has expressed his dislike for New York Mets fans after a dangerous incident at Citi Field. Webb, who has had a successful career with double-digit wins in the past three seasons, revealed that he was almost hit in the head by a baseball thrown from the stands during his first big league encounter at the stadium. Despite this incident, Webb has remained composed and has continued to excel in his career, boasting a record of 37-25 with an impressive ERA of 3.07 since the start of the 2021 season.
Webb shared his experience at Citi Field while speaking on the Chris Rose Rotation podcast. He recalled how a 15-year-old kid threw the ball at him as he was walking to the bullpen after playing catch. To his surprise, the group of 15-year-olds proceeded to flip him off, while a nearby police officer simply laughed and showed no concern. Despite the incident, Webb took it in stride and considered it to be a part of the fun of playing on the road.
Interestingly, Webb’s performance on the mound during that game was equally forgettable, as he suffered a loss to Max Scherzer on a rainy night in New York. However, the most amusing part of the story came after the game when the kid who threw the ball actually reached out to Webb on social media. The fan admitted that he was the one who threw the ball and even expressed his wish that it had hit Webb. This interaction highlights the sometimes brutal nature of fan-player interactions.
So far, Webb’s only appearance at Citi Field has been marred by this incident, resulting in an 0-1 record and an ERA of 7.35. However, he has found success against the Mets in his home stadium, Oracle Park, where he has a record of 2-0 in three appearances.
