Jacob Webb is a relief pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. In 2026 he struck out 73 batters over 67.0 innings across 68 appearances, going 6-5. His ERA of 3.36 was 19.7% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 4th of 16 on his team, and 149th of 539 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.03 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 33.3% of swings (16.7% of every pitch he threw), walked 8.8% of the batters he faced and struck out 25.7%. His 0.5 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are measured against a full league season, and a postseason is a few teams playing each other for a month, so they are not computed for October.
