It's not been a great start to the 2026 season for the San Francisco Giants. That's an understatement. It's also been tough to watch starting pitcher Logan Webb go through some struggles, too.

Webb took the mound for the Giants' season opener last Wednesday against the New York Yankees. He ended up on the losing end of a 7-0 Yankees victory. San Francisco lost all three games in the opening series, only scoring one run across the series.

Despite the rough outing, does Webb have a chance to potentially win 20 games in the 2026 MLB season? Bleacher Report seems to think so. In a predictive story before the season cranked up, the outlet proposed that Webb could actually hit the 20-win mark.

Twelve times in the past three seasons, MLB pitchers threw more than 200 innings in a season. As it turns out, Webb has done it three of those times.

"Last season, he finished fourth in NL Cy Young balloting, going 15-11 with a 3.22 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 224 strikeouts in 207 innings," Bleacher Report indicated. "He also looked sharp in two starts for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.

"The perceived value of pitcher wins as a statistic has steadily declined in recent years, but a 20-win season remains a milestone accomplishment," according to the story. "It's a mark no pitcher has reached since Spencer Strider went 20-5 in 2023."

Against the Yankees, Webb worked five innings, giving up nine hits and six runs (all earned) while striking out seven. He walked one and hit a batter, too. After that one start, Webb's ERA now sits at a lofty 10.80 with a 2.00 WHIP.

Obviously, just one start does not totally reflect how Webb will pitch all season long. Webb, though, along with the rest of the Giants wanted to put new Giants manager Tony Vitello into the win column in Game No. 1.

Well, the Giants are still looking for their first victory this season.

But, what about Webb? Bleacher Report indicated that the Giants should have a better season than 2025's 81-81 record under Bob Melvin.

"With a full season of Rafael Devers and offseason additions Luis Arraez, Harrison Bader, Tyler Mahle and Adrian Houser, the Giants look like an improved team over the one that finished 81-81 a year ago," the outlet wrote.

If there is an MLB pitcher who really could reach the 20-win plateau this season, then Webb has positioned himself to get that mark. The Giants' offense, though, needs to wake up and start mashing.
