Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Patrick Corbin, veteran left-hander for the Toronto Blue Jays, has struggled significantly through eight starts in 2026. He has failed to complete five innings in consecutive starts and has not gone six innings in any outing this season. In his last two starts (May 12 and May 18), he allowed six runs on 15 hits and four walks with just four strikeouts across 8.1 innings. His expected ERA (xERA) of 6.10 significantly exceeds his actual 4.23 ERA, indicating he has been fortunate with results. Corbin is performing poorly in key metrics: 10th percentile or worse in fastball velocity (91.1 mph), whiff rate, and strikeout rate. He has a concerning 25:13 K:BB ratio across 38.1 innings and lacks swing-and-miss stuff at this stage of his career. He is primarily serving as an innings-eater for the injury-depleted Toronto rotation.
Strengths
- + Veteran experience with Toronto rotation
- + Actual ERA of 4.23 is respectable despite underlying metrics
- + Has allowed two runs or fewer in some starts
- + Providing depth for injury-plagued Blue Jays rotation
