Washington Nationals’ Patrick Corbin finds his swing & miss slider vs Pittsburgh Pirates...

Patrick Corbin hasn’t been getting the swings and misses he’s used to getting with his slider and when he spoke about it a week back, he acknowledged he wasn’t sure exactly why that was.

“Obviously I’d like to strike out more guys,” Corbin told reporters after his start against the Rays in Tampa Bay last week.

“Not really sure why that is or what’s different, but just going to continue to work on it and I think at times my slider has been pretty good, and maybe at some times not as sharp, but not quite sure why.
