Volpe at the 5 hole doesn't make sense to me

Just terrible ABs with RISP

@navamind how did Patrick Corbin become a solid pitcher again? He was ass for a few years

his peripherals don't really support the 3.35 ERA. His k/bb ratios aren't any better than they were in 2021-24. He's actually getting fewer ground balls than he has in previous years. The ballpark and AL West ballparks help that somewhat. He's fine as a backend starter, but I imagine his era will be closer to 5 than 4 when all is said and done. Not that weird to see starting pitchers overachieving in a 7 start span
