Strom Returns to Help Astros Pitch | Houston Astros News

Brent Strom, the Astros’ former pitching coach who helped them win three World Series, is back in Houston—not for nostalgia, but to fix their struggling bullpen. Calling retirement “the worst job I’ve ever had,” he’s returned as a consultant with his wife’s blessing, ready to help the team claw into playoff contention with just 27 games left. He’s already spotted key issues like low first-pitch strike rates and high walk totals, suggesting tactical tweaks could disrupt opponents. Though he won’t replace current coaches, Strom plans to be in the dugout daily, bringing his eight-year Astros legacy and fresh insights to help the team make it back to October.
