Patrick Corbin News
Washington Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin will be in search of a bounce-back effort Tuesday night when he takes on the New York Mets at Nationals Park. The veteran left-hander was touched up for six earned runs on 10 hits and one walk across five innings against the Blue Jays his last time out. He has largely been plagued by inconsistency again this season but previously went four straight starts allowing three earned runs or fewer before his latest hiccup. For the season, Corbin sports a 4.90 ERA across 27 starts, his best mark since the shortened 2020 season. The southpaw will take on a Mets offense that is tied for 22nd with a .306 wOBA versus left-handed pitching this season.
The Washington Nationals placed left-hander Patrick Corbin on the paternity list on Friday and recalled right-hander Paolo Espino from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Corbin was not scheduled to pitch this weekend against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first series of the second half of the season, so he's unlikely to miss his first start of the second half. The 33-year-old southpaw continues to be tough to trust in fantasy leagues, as he gave up a league-high 135 hits in the first half of the season while also recording a 4.89 ERA (4.92 FIP), 1.55 WHIP, 33 walks and only 74 strikeouts in 108 2/3 innings over his 19 starts. Corbin also leads the league with 10 losses. Things continue to go downhill for him after coming over from Arizona in 2019.
The Washington Nationals announced on Friday that left-hander Patrick Corbin will take the hill on Opening Day on Thursday, March 30, to face the division-rival Atlanta Braves. Corbin will get the nod despite going 6-19 with a career-worst 6.31 ERA (4.83 FIP), 1.69 WHIP and career-low 18 percent strikeout rate in 152 2/3 innings pitched and 31 starts for the Nationals in 2022. The 33-year-old has pitched better in Grapefruit League action this spring, but there shouldn't be too many fantasy managers in deeper leagues that should feel bold enough to roll the dice on Corbin in their starting lineups on Opening Day against the National League East defending-champion Braves next week.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin had a phenomenal performance in 2019, but 65 innings in 2020 is causing everyone to seek life jackets. Before they jump off the ship, you can hear them screaming "Velocity is dropping," as it dropped two mph from the second half of 2019. Corbin finished the year with a 4.17 FIP, but history and bad luck indicate a bounce-back could be in the future. This isn't the first time his velocity sat near 90.2 mph in the first half of the season (90.4 mph in 2018 and 91 mph in 2019). Though he got hitters to chase at his routine rate (37.8%), Corbin didn't get his normal level of strikeouts as batters made more contact than normal leading to a .362 BABIP. His slider, for example, incited the same chase frequency (46%), but it didn't have the expected dominating results. Batters were able to make 18% more contact outside the zone (47%) than in 2019. Many players are getting a mulligan for 2020, but Corbin's current ADP of 149 show he's not getting similar treatment. Though he'll be 32 years old during the 2021 season, Corbin has shown he can improve his velocity during the season. It is not much of a risk to see if he can do it again, considering where he's currently being drafted.
