About Brent Strom
Strom spent 1974 at Triple-A, in both the Cleveland and San Diego organizations. On June 21, with pitcher Terry Ley, he went to the Padres to complete a trade begun on June 15 that brought Steve Arlin to the Indians. His #359 card carries the Cleveland Indians.
Brent Strom was a left-handed pitcher from San Diego who pitched in the majors for the Mets, Indians and Padres in 1972, 1973 and 1975 through 1977, going 22-39 with a 3.95 ERA over 100 games. He had won two NCAA championships at USC and was the third overall pick of the 1970 draft. Strom's longer career was in coaching. He was Houston's pitching coach in 1996 and again from 2014 to 2021, a stretch that included the Astros' 2017 World Series championship and Cy Young Awards for Dallas Keuchel and Justin Verlander. He then coached Arizona from 2022 to 2024, reaching a fifth World Series as a pitching coach in 2023, and for over thirty years he was a co-director of the San Diego School of Baseball.
