Like a number of other pitchers around the league in this 60-game campaign, Nationals’ lefty Patrick Corbin’s velocity hasn’t been where he’s used to it sitting early this season.
Corbin waited out the layoff after Major League Baseball shut Spring Training down in mid-March and he ramped up quickly in Spring Training 2.0 in July, but he’s not quite where he should be right now.
“Obviously it’s not like where I was towards the end of last season where your arm is built up,” Corbin told reporters after his six-inning outing against the New York Mets last week.
