On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francisco Giants. The first thing we learned is that Logan Webb is making a very strong case that he belongs in a major league rotation. In his outing on Saturday, he struck out six Cleveland Indians in three innings of work, allowing just one hit, one walk, and zero runs. He's struck out 10 and walked one in six innings of work this spring. Webb looks to be on the outside looking in to the Giants' starting rotation, but Alex Wood is dealing with a stiff back and Webb could be first in line if a starter goes down with an injury or underperforms.
The second thing we learned is that Brandon Belt had Covid in January and mononucleosis in recent weeks. Belt was absent from spring workouts for weeks, and we finally learned the extent of his illnesses. Thankfully, Belt is feeling better and even got up to 17 mph on a treadmill in recent days.
Finally, the third thing we learned this weekend is that Aaron Sanchez wants to pitch in a spring game. He said he expected to appear in his first game on Sunday, but the Giants had him pitch in a simulated game instead. There seemed to be some communication issues, but nothing major. Sanchez was reportedly throwing the ball well in the sim game, and he hopes to get into a real spring game sometime this week.
Ben sneaks in one more thing we learned this weekend: not that it necessarily means anything, but the Giants lead all teams with a .383 on-base percentage this spring. They've drawn the most walks (69) and have the second-most hits (116) through 14 games.
