Baylor’s baseball program has added its fourth transfer‑portal piece of the offseason, a left‑handed pitcher named Davis Webb, bolstering a rotation that has been reshaped by recent movement in the player market.
A Strategic Addition
Webb arrives after a stint at Bradley University, where he appeared in 16 games, making four starts and covering 52.2 innings on the mound.
During that time he led the Braves with four victories and 67 strikeouts, while holding opponents to a .254 batting average, showcasing the upside that attracted Baylor’s interest.
Performance Nuances
Despite a 6.66 earned‑run average and a 1.80 WHIP, the 6‑foot‑6, 260‑pound arm struggled with control, issuing 53 walks and delivering 19 wild pitches, indicating areas for refinement.
College Roots
Prior to Bradley, Webb refined his craft at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he logged 19 innings and 25 strikeouts, and earlier excelled at Tipton High School, earning First Team All‑River Valley Conference honors.
The Bears will also bring back pitchers Zack Wallace and Mason Green from injury, even as they confront the possible loss of Ethan Calder to graduation and the MLB Draft prospects of Lucas Davenport.
Webb, a rising fourth‑year senior, retains two years of eligibility, giving Baylor a flexible timeline to develop his talent and potentially anchor the staff for upcoming seasons.
