Brent Strom Returns to Astros | MLB News

Brent Strom, the 77-year-old pitching legend who called retirement a “terrible job,” is back with the Astros as a pitching consultant—fueled by nostalgia and a mission to fix their struggling staff. With the team ranked dead last in ERA and walking more batters than anyone, Strom’s immediate focus? Getting pitchers to throw more first-pitch strikes. He’s already working with Tatsuya Imai and eager for Mike Burrows’ return, bringing his legendary coaching touch from past World Series glory days—including mentoring Cy Young winners like Verlander and Keuchel. Despite knowing he’s got plenty to learn about the current roster, Strom’s ready to inject fresh energy into a team that’s now in first place—and prove that even at 77, he’s still throwing strikes.
