In the fourth year of his 6-year/$140M deal in D.C., Washington Nationals’ left-hander Patrick Corbin went (6-19) overall, with a 6.31 ERA, 4.84 FIP, 49 walks (2.89 BB/9), and 128 strikeouts (7.55 K/9) in 31 starts and 152 2⁄3 IP, over which hitters put up a .321/.374/.513 line against the veteran starter.
Corbin showed signs of life late in 2022, however, providing the Nats’ brass with reason to believe he might bounce back in ‘23 and provide the club with a reliable arm in a relatively young rotation, though the Nationals signed Trevor Williams to bring another proven starter into the mix.
