Patrick Corbin is about to become one of the most sought-after pitchers in free agency this offseason, with the Yankees among the teams expected to make a strong run at the 29-year-old lefty.

“It’s no surprise he wears 46,” Mohawk Valley head coach Dave Warren said, referring to the number Andy Pettitte wore with the Yankees.
