There are a few of reasons for the improvement of Corbin over the start of this year, one of which is an increase in his groundball rate from 45.7 percent last season to 47.6 percent this year. He’s also dramatically decreased his home run rate. Last season, Corbin was allowing 1.18 homers per nine innings. This season that number has dropped to just 0.34 home runs per nine innings. He has also shown an increase in the velocity on all of his pitches this year, which he has benefitted from.
Though he’s much improved this season, there is still a couple one red flag that shows that Corbin might regress a bit as the season goes on. With his increased velocity on his pitches, Corbin seems to have lost a bit of his control. Last season he threw 1035 pitches for strikes and 562 pitches for balls. So far this year, he has thrown 484 strikes to 289 balls. His walk rate has also increased from 2.10 walks per nine innings last season to 2.87 this season. This shows that he doesn’t have as strong of a command on his pitches, which indicates that his numbers may decline as he logs more starts.
