Webb's changeup was arguably one of the best pitches in baseball in 2023. Its Statcast Run Value of 28 was second only to Gerrit Cole's four-seam fastball.
This isn't to say Webb's signature pitch was as a fraud, solid as paper-mache, it's just to say it accrued its value elsewhere, not from missing bats but from dictating how the bat hits it.
