There are certain experiences which raise the competition level. Bounced out of the rotation was one of those seismic events for Patrick Corbin of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Easily traversing through spring training hitters a year ago, Corbin sliced through the competition like that hot knife through butter. Pundits agreed Corbin was back to his All-Star self and to the level of the season in which he won 14-8 in 2013. Despite missing the 2014 and part of the 2015 season with Tommy John surgery and recovery, Corbin appeared ready to regain his lost stature.
