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.
