Giants Ace Logan Webb Credits Grandmothers as His Biggest Fans

San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb stands out as one of baseball’s top pitchers, but every strikeout and win has roots in a personal story of family and support. Two of Webb’s biggest fans — his grandmothers, Patty Fecanin and Jan Webb — have followed him from Little League fields in Rocklin, California, all the way to the spotlight at Oracle Park.

Their bond and constant presence have helped shape not just the player, but the person Webb is today. You can’t really separate his career from their influence; it’s all woven together.

A Sisterly Bond Forged Through Loss

Patty and Jan shared a connection long before baseball ever came into the mix. Seventeen years ago, both women lost their husbands within months of each other.

Instead of navigating that grief alone, they moved in together and forged a bond that feels more like sisters than in-laws. Shared loss turned into shared adventures, and eventually, a shared mission to cheer Logan on wherever the game took him.

From Cross-Country Miles to Minor League Mounds

Back in 2017, the grandmothers hit the road for a three-month cross-country trip. They packed in plenty of sightseeing and laughs, but the real highlight was a detour to Oregon to watch a young Logan pitch in the Minors.

They’ve always been willing to travel for him. From his earliest Little League days, Patty and Jan showed up — youth baseball, high school, the Minors, and now the Major Leagues with the Giants.

Text Messages, Tradition, and a Touch of Humor

One of their favorite rituals doesn’t happen at the ballpark, but on Webb’s phone. Every time he starts, he gets a text from each of them — Patty’s classic “kick ass,” and Jan’s more gentle “do your best.”

It’s a tradition that mixes motivation with love, a little reminder that family’s always in his corner no matter what’s on the line.

Life in the Stands at Oracle Park

Patty and Jan don’t hide their pride. At Oracle Park, they go to games regularly and will gladly tell anyone nearby that the Giants’ ace is their grandson.

Webb says it’s both funny and slightly embarrassing, but it just shows how involved they still are. One day, Patty asked Webb to introduce her to her favorite Giant, Wilmer Flores. Meeting him was a highlight for her — proof that even baseball grandmas can be true fans.

Coping with Nerves and Trusting Talent

Patty and Jan still get nervous before each of Webb’s starts. But once he throws that first pitch, their anxiety fades.

They’ve watched his drive and talent for years, so they trust him to handle the pressure.

From Rocklin to All-Star Stardom

Webb’s journey from high school prospect to two-time All-Star and Giants ace hasn’t been easy. At every stage, his grandmothers have been a steady presence.

Their love and loyalty give him comfort and motivation — a real anchor through everything. For Webb, his story is as much about the people behind him as it is about the game itself.

The Legacy of Family Support in Sports

Logan Webb’s story isn’t just another feel-good baseball narrative. It’s a reminder of how much family can shape an athlete’s path.

Baseball demands mental toughness, consistency, and resilience. Webb draws strength from the two women who’ve stood by him since day one.

This season, fans will probably keep spotting Patty and Jan in the stands. They’ll be cheering, sharing their trademark messages, and giving that kind of steady support you can’t really measure, but you sure can feel.
