"But when Webb was asked on Friday during a Zoom call with reporters about where he wants to improve next season, he instead turned his focus to the team. I just want to get back to the playoffs, Webb said. I'm not enjoying sitting here right now. I wish we were playing into this month. I feel like the direction is going the right way. I think that's the most important goal."
"If the Giants are to return to the playoffs next season, they'll do so with Tony Vitello as their manager. Vitello was officially introduced on Thursday afternoon as the 40th manager in franchise history following successful eight seasons at Tennessee, a program he turned into a collegiate baseball powerhouse. Despite having no prior experience in the professional game, president of baseball operations Buster Posey tabbed Vitello to make the unprecedented leap from college head coach to major-league manager."
Logan Webb led the majors in innings and led the National League in strikeouts while positioning himself for a first Gold Glove. Webb said his priority is returning the Giants to the playoffs and expressed frustration at not playing into the postseason, while feeling the team's direction is right. Tony Vitello was hired as the Giants’ manager after eight successful seasons at Tennessee, becoming the 40th manager in franchise history despite no professional coaching experience. President of baseball operations Buster Posey made the hire. Webb praised Vitello’s energy, intelligence and passion, cited positive endorsements from players, and sent Vitello a text to begin building a relationship.
