Washington Nationals name Patrick Corbin 2023 Opening Day starter
In the fourth year of his six-year/$140M deal in Washington, D.C., southpaw Patrick Corbin went (6-19) overall for the Nationals in 2022, with a 6.31 ERA, 4.83 FIP, 49 walks (2.89 BB/9), 128 strikeouts (7.55 K/9), and a .321/.374/.513 line against in 31 starts and 152 2⁄3 innings. He will be the Opening Day starter in the nation’s capital next Thursday afternoon for the start of his fifth season with the club.
Corbin and the Nats are hoping the 33-year-old lefty will bounce back this year, after three sub-par years following a strong run with the 2019 World Series champions in his first year with the team.
