Jacob Webb Steps Up as Cubs Closer | Chicago News

Jacob Webb has become the Cubs’ unsung hero in the bullpen, stepping into the closer role with authority and consistency as injuries hit other relievers. Leading the team with eight saves and boasting an elite 2.38 ERA, Webb’s been on a 20-inning scoreless streak and delivers clutch performances every time he takes the mound. His calm demeanor masks an intense focus, and his devastating changeup has made him a nightmare for opposing batters — even shutting down powerhouse lineups like the Dodgers. Teammates call him a “dog” — tough, reliable, and always ready — and his ability to thrive under pressure, regardless of matchup or inning, has earned him full trust from the manager and locker room alike.
