Dodgers rookie Michael Grove has found himself making five starts this season, on a pitching staff that includes multiple All-Stars, several guys who have either won the Cy Young Award or received votes, and, oh yeah, possibly the best pitcher of our generation in Clayton Kershaw.
Grove has held his own in those five starts, posting a 3.09 ERA in 23.1 innings. But more than the boost he’s given to the rotation, Grove has been able to watch how the veterans work and prepare themselves to pitch.
In a conversation with David Vassegh on Dodger Talk the other day, Grove was asked about the stars’ routines and how he applies them to his own work.
