Strom Returns to Revive Astros Pitching | Houston Astros News

The Astros are turning back the clock by bringing in 77-year-old pitching legend Brent Strom as a consultant for the remainder of the season. Once their architect of pitching success from 2014–2021, Strom’s return comes at a critical juncture — Houston trails just one game in the AL West despite a .500 record and a struggling bullpen ranked dead last in ERA. Manager Joe Espada is thrilled to have Strom’s veteran wisdom and World Series pedigree on hand, especially as the team looks to finish strong. Strom will join the squad in New York this weekend, ready to offer real-time guidance from the dugout — a fitting tribute to a coach whose legacy helped build one of baseball’s most dominant pitching staffs.
