Patrick Corbin finished up the 2023 campaign (his 11th season in the majors, and the fifth year on his six-year/$140M deal with Washington) with his ERA at 5.20, a 5.28 FIP, 57 walks (2.85 BB/9), 124 strikeouts (6.20 K/9), a .293/.344/.481 line against, and 33 home runs allowed in 180 IP (1.65 HR/9).
“I think he has pitched better,” GM Mike Rizzo told 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies late this past season. “I think his numbers do reflect that he’s pitched a little bit better.”
Corbin did make 30+ starts for the fourth time in four full seasons in the Nationals’ rotation.
