Brandon Webb was born in Ashland, Kentucky, and played baseball as a pitcher at the University of Kentucky. Webb was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 8th round of the 2000 Major League Baseball draft. He pitched in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2003 through 2009. Webb was a three-time MLB All-Star. He won the Cy Young award in 2006 and was runner-up in 2005 and 2007.
