He went 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA and one save, registering 26 strikeouts and only five walks in 15 innings. In his Bulldog career, Webb is 4-5 with a 3.77 ERA and six saves in 44 appearances including seven starts. He has 101 strikeouts and 45 walks in 93 innings. For 2021, he is slated to be a part of Georgia’s starting rotation along with right-hander Jonathan Cannon and left-hander C.J. Smith. Last month, Cannon was named a 2021 preseason third team All-American by Collegiate Baseball.

Because of the length of the 2020 season, the players listed on the Perfect Game/Rawlings preseason All-America teams were selected based on a combination of factors including statistics from both 2019 and 2020, prospect status, 2021 expectations, and ranking relative to their draft status.
