Blake Snell won't be ready for the start of the 2024 MLB season but he doesn't expect to be sidelined too long after signing with the Giants on Monday.
The San Francisco Giants won't have their new prized pitcher on the mound when they begin the 2024 season. Blake Snell is still working to ramp himself up to be ready for the season, but he won't be good to go by Opening Day, he told NBC Sports Bay Area. The lefty added that while he's been in the 60-pitch range in his personal pitching sessions, they came without the adrenaline of facing major league hitters.
The Giants haven't officially named their Opening Day starter, but it will almost certainly be Logan Webb, who might have gotten the nod even if Snell joined the team sooner. The 27-year-old has been the Giants' Opening Day starter the last two seasons and was the runner-up to Snell in last year's Cy Young voting.
