Webb played two seasons in Medicine Hat between 2012 and 2013, posting a 1-3 record and a 3.92 ERA over that span.

However, his Mavericks career was highlighted by his 2013 campaign where he pitched in 20 games and threw up a 1-1 record, a 0.94 ERA, and 43 strikeouts.

Following his time in Medicine Hat, Webb started his climb through the minor leagues with stops in the single-A, double-A, and finally triple-A levels being called up from the Gwinnett Stripers of the International League.
