“Slider was good,” Davey Martinez said of Patrick Corbin’s work in his second outing of the 2023 campaign last week against Tampa Bay. “Changeup was good, fastball was down, in and out, but for the most part everything was down in the zone.”
“And when he does that he can pitch,” the manager added, “he can give us six innings, six strong innings.”
Corbin threw 48% sliders in the outing, which was up from 35% in his first start, 39% sinkers, down from 51%, and the veteran southpaw mixed in 10% changeups, and 3% four-seamers.
“I think overall, the slider was fairly good,” the lefty told reporters, as quoted by MASN’s Bobby Blanco after the outing.
