"Corbin picked up the win in Friday night's 7-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins, tossing 5 ⅓ innings of two-run ball before being relieved by Braydon Fisher. It was the third time in his last four outings that he's completed at least five frames-impressive considering he didn't get a proper spring training."
"His 5.90 expected ERA implies negative regression, especially when paired with a .289 expected batting average. He's giving up a lot of contact that could eventually turn into runs."
"Corbin has nonetheless done well to keep himself out of trouble. He's walked just 7.6% of the batters he's faced thus far, which ranks in the 67th percentile."
"The Blue Jays have also been strategic in their deployment of Corbin, often pulling him before he gets a chance to face the lineup a third time."
Patrick Corbin has emerged as a surprising asset for the Toronto Blue Jays, winning a game against the Minnesota Twins after pitching 5 ⅓ innings. His recent performance follows a solid 2025 season with the Texas Rangers, where he recorded a 4.40 ERA. Despite his success, concerns linger due to his poor underlying stats, including a 5.90 expected ERA. Corbin has managed to limit walks and increase his strikeout rate, but questions remain about the sustainability of his performance.
