VIDEO: This Clip of Justin Verlander Teaching Zack Greinke New Tricks Should Terrify All of Baseball
By Karl Rasmussen
Zack Greinke is one of the most experienced and talented hurlers in the big leagues. What more could he have to learn? Well, after a move to the Astros, it appears as if Greinke is still seeking some tips from a fellow ace, new teammate Justin Verlander. The pair were seen in the Astros dugout and it looks as if JV was handing out some pointers to his new comrade.
What’s Verlander teaching Greinke? ?

If Greinke adds more fuel to his arsenal, the Astros would become the most lethal team in baseball, if they're not already.
The 35-year-old is 10-4 on the season with a 2.90 ERA across 23 starts. He's whiffed 135 across 146 innings and has an exceptional 0.945 WHIP, earning his third consecutive trip to the All-Star game.
Zack Greinke will make his Astros debut Tuesday vs Colorado. Aaron Sanchez will start Saturday against Seattle. All 3 will meet the team in Houston tomorrow.

Greinke is set to debut for Houston on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies, so he'll be facing a familiar lineup.
It'll be interesting to see if the veteran adds a new pitch to the mix sometime soon. If he does, we can likely credit it to Verlander.
