Scouting Report
Corbin is listed at 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) and 170 pounds (77 kg). His pitching repertoire contains a fastball that he throws between 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) and 92 miles per hour (148 km/h). His secondary pitches include a changeup, which he throws between 81 miles per hour (130 km/h) and 82 miles per hour (132 km/h) and a slider, which he throws between 78 miles per hour (126 km/h) and 79 miles per hour (127 km/h), and considered his best pitch coming out of college.
Corbin improved his changeup after pitching in Instructional League during the 2009–10 offseason, which led Corbin to consider it a better pitch than his slider. In 2011, he developed a knuckle curve, which he believes contributed to his consecutive scoreless innings streak.

Famous quotes containing the word report:
“There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,—now under one disguise, now under another,—like a police in citizen’s clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
