"In his first-ever taste of international competition, Logan Webb needed just 52 pitches to toss four innings of one-run ball with six strikeouts as Team USA started pool play with a 15-5 victory over Team Brazil on Friday evening at Daikin Park."
"Team Brazil shocked Webb to begin the evening when Lucas Ramirez, the son of 12-time All-Star Manny Ramirez, homered on Webb's second pitch of the night. From there, Webb retired the next 12 batters that he faced before handing the ball off to the United States' bullpen."
"17-year-old right-hander Joseph Contreras, the son of former major-leaguer Jose Contreras, shattered three-time MVP Aaron Judge's bat to induce an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded."
Logan Webb made his international competition debut for Team USA against Brazil, requiring only 52 pitches to complete four innings while allowing one run and recording six strikeouts. After Lucas Ramirez homered on Webb's second pitch, Webb retired the next 12 consecutive batters before the bullpen took over. Team USA dominated the game 15-5. Brazil provided memorable moments despite the loss, with Ramirez hitting a second solo homer and 17-year-old Joseph Contreras inducing a double play with bases loaded against Aaron Judge. Webb's next appearance will likely be in the quarterfinals on March 13 or 14. Several Giants participated in World Baseball Classic games, including Jung Hoo Lee, Luis Arraez, Heliot Ramos, and Tristan Beck.
