"I wouldn't change anything." As Corbin heads into the last of his 170 starts as a Washington National, that doesn't quite check out, because by so many measures he has been - and it's hard to type this - the worst starting pitcher in baseball since 2020. There are numbers to back that up, and we'll get to them. But that's also far too simple an evaluation of a pitcher whose six-year tenure with the Nats includes not just nine of the biggest outs in franchise history, but so many moments that were necessary to get to those highest leverage innings.
"A lot has been said about him, obviously, in the last few years," said Nats legend Ryan Zimmerman, a former teammate. "I hope people remember him for what he did." What he did was join Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg atop the most fearsome rotation in the sport.
