There were at least two points in Patrick Corbin’s career where him winning this award for the second time seemed very unlikely. The first was at the beginning of the 2014 season. Our reigning Pitcher of the Year was robbed of a chance to be our Opening Day starter in the Sydney series, by an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. Coming back from that is always a roll of the dice, but Corbin recovered and took the mound for the second half of the 2015 season. But his campaign the following year was terrible, and in mid-August, with an almost Shelby Miller-like ERA of 5.
