Andrew Painter Strikes Out Six In Second AFL Win
After two years on the shelf recovering from Tommy John surgery, Andrew Painter is showing no signs of rust. The Phillies righthander mostly dominated again on Tuesday against a talented Surprise lineup. After getting into some trouble in the first inning, Painter retired eight of his next nine batters. His fastball sat 95-97 mph and he mixed his changeup, slider and curveball. He generated nine swinging strikes on the day and struck out six of the 12 batters he faced. Painter should likely factor into the Phillies rotation picture early in the 2025 season.
