This is not intended as a hit piece on Corbin Martin. He clearly is talented enough to throw a baseball very hard and with movement. His stuff is often lauded as being “great”. He seems to be very well liked by the coaching staff and I’m sure he works extremely hard to be the best he can be. Unfortunately, due to injury and also poor command, it has not yet translated into success in his early career.
Despite being 25 years old, it is still early days in terms of games and IP. Suffering an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery in 2019, and missing all of 2020 due to recovery and then the Pandemic, and then subsequent other injuries late last year as well means he has just 10 Games, 35.
