The Houston Astros helped Justin Verlander reach another level in his pitching. Their work with him and others has led to a belief that Zack Greinke will also flourish with his new team. In fact, it seems Verlander and Greinke have already gotten started on helping each other.
This video shared on Twitter Saturday shows the two Cy Young Award winners talking pitching together. They seem to be sharing different grips and showing the effects they have on the ball:

John Smoltz’s comment about the Astros’ rotation may be an exaggeration, but working in such an advanced environment should help bring out the best in Greinke. We’ve already seen what putting on an Astros jersey did for their other trade deadline acquisitions. Greinke may follow with impressive pitching of his own.
