Painter Thriving Since Triple-A Return for Phillies
The young Phillies righty has looked sharp in his MLB return, posting strong strikeout numbers and limiting damage over three outings.
Andrew Painter has made three starts since being recalled from Triple-A and owns a 2.93 ERA in that stretch. Over 15.1 innings, he has allowed 8 hits, 5 earned runs, and 7 walks while striking out 16 batters. The performance suggests Painter is settling in as a reliable rotation piece for Philadelphia. His strikeout-to-inning rate indicates swing-and-miss stuff that could be a meaningful factor in upcoming Phillies starts.
