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:
“I shall be a benefactor if I conquer some realms from the night, if I report to the gazettes anything transpiring about us at that season worthy of their attention,—if I can show men that there is some beauty awake while they are asleep,—if I add to the domains of poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
