Jon Tyler Webb (born July 20, 1990) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the New York Yankees' organization.

Career

Webb attended Northampton High School in Eastville, Virginia.[1] After graduating from high school, Webb enrolled at the University of South Carolina, where he played college baseball for the South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team. He was a member of the 2010 and 2011 College World Series championship teams. In 2012, his junior year, Webb pitched to a 6–1 win–loss record and a 1.56 earned run average (ERA), and recorded 58 strikeouts in 57+2⁄3 innings pitched. Before his senior year, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named Webb a second-team preseason All-American.[2] Serving as the Gamecocks' closer, Webb recorded 17 saves in the 2013 season,[3] and was named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball and a second-team All-Southeastern Conference pitcher after the season.[1] He finished his Gamecocks' career with a 2.34 ERA and the record for games pitched (110).[3]

The New York Yankees selected him in the tenth round, with the 314th overall selection, of the 2013 MLB Draft.[1][4] The Yankees assigned him to the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League after he signed, but promoted him to the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League two weeks later.[3] Webb began the 2014 season with the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, and was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League. He was named an Eastern League All-Star,[5] and were promoted to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League following the All-Star break.[6] For the season, Webb went 3-6 with a 3.80 ERA and 12 saves in 48 games and 68.2 innings pitched.

Webb received a non-roster invitation to spring training with the Yankees in 2015, and opened the season with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. His playing time was limited due to a tendon injury, and the Yankees assigned Webb to the Arizona Fall League after the regular season.[7] He received another non-roster Spring Training invitation for 2016 on February 5th.
