Patrick Corbin News
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Patrick Corbin got off to a horrendous start to the 2021 season. He allowed 15 earned runs over his first two starts (6 1/3 innings) and posted an ugly 10.47 ERA over four starts in April. Since then, he's looked much more like his prime self. He's recorded quality starts in three of his four starts in May. He has a 3.24 ERA over the four starts. He's also seen an increase in velocity, which is probably the most promising development. His slider, which is his primary pitch, had been averaging around 78 mph through the early going this year. However, in his most recent starts, he's had an average velocity around 80 mph for the pitch. We'll see if he can keep building off of his strong start to May on Sunday, when he faces the Baltimore Orioles.
Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin turned in a strong performance against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The Nationals' jumped out to an early first inning 4-0 lead and that was all the southpaw needed, as he held the Phillies at bay allowing just a lone first-inning run across seven innings. A starter who has struggled mightily since 2019, Corbin desperately needed to go deep into a game while pitching well and not allowing a home run. Thursday's start drops Corbin's ERA down to 6.19 and WHIP to 1.38 so it's going to take a few more strong outings before his full-season numbers look acceptable. If you're a believer that and buying early on a Corbin rebound, now is the time to invest. Slated to face the Cubs in Chicago in his next start, the matchup is intriguing. Toe the water carefully, but it's okay to go in.
Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin turned in a mediocre performance Friday in the Nationals' 11-3 win against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. The southpaw allowed three earned runs on only four hits with zero walks. Unsurprisingly, the long ball was the issue yet again for Corbin. Three solo homers -- one to Gary Sanchez and two to DJ LeMahieu-- were what accounted for all of the Bronx Bombers' runs. Corbin has now allowed 10 dingers in only six starts and with only one clean start of zero homers. A consistent fantasy presence since 2017, Corbin is still firmly outside the circle of trust. Now sporting a 7.36 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, fantasy managers are going to need to see those numbers improve significantly before Corbin can be considered for standard league use.

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.
