To say this is not the ideal start to the season for Corbin Burnes would be a massive understatement. He’s allowed three home runs in each of his first three starts, with nine total dingers allowed in just 14.1 innings. His ERA sits at an unsightly 10.21. The Milwaukee Brewers have actually only lost one of those three games however.
While there have been some high points, such as striking out 12 against St. Louis, there have been many more low points. Fans are frustrated, and so is Burnes.
What’s Wrong With Corbin Burnes?
He’s suffering from a terrible case of “fastball-down-the-middle” disease.
