Brandon Tyler Webb (born May 9, 1979 in Ashland,
Kentucky), is a National Major League Baseball
starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks and
was the 2006 National League Cy Young Award winner.
Webb was a 1997 graduate of Paul G. Blazer High
School in Ashland. Brandon and his wife, Alicia,
make their home in Ashland as well. He decided to
stick close to home for college, attending the
University of Kentucky in Lexington. A devastating
sinker is said to be his out pitch, leading to many
ground-ball outs.
