Daily News | Will the Phillies’ Andrew Painter be the next teen phenom in 2023?
officials tried to put Andrew Painter’s season in context. It wasn’t easy because few witnessed anything like it.
“He has the capabilities to be as good as any young pitcher that I’ve been around,” Dombrowski said this week before the Philliesas their top minor league pitcher. “And when I say that, there’s been some really good ones that I’ve been around.” Beckett spent two years on the farm before getting called up, at age 21, for the final month of a 2001 season that began with him throwing 39 consecutive scoreless innings in high-A and included seven innings of a combined no-hitter in double A. He had a 1.50 ERA in four September starts for the out-of-contention Marlins, then took a regular turn in their rotation in 2002.
Painter, for instance, said he noticed that double-A hitters initially tried to sit on his fastball. Once he threw his curveball and changeup more often, they had to respect those pitches. The changeup, in particular, disrupted hitters’ timing and made the fastball seem even faster. Dombrowski said Painter, Abel, and fellow pitching prospect Griff McGarry will be invited to major-league spring training. The Phillies may have at least one vacancy in the rotation, with Kyle Gibson, Noah Syndergaard, and possibly Zach Eflin eligible for free agency. There will be opportunity.
Painter will spend the offseason in South Florida, where he trains at Cressey Sports Performance, a facility that was co-founded by Phillies director of pitching Brian Kaplan. Among the pitchers who train at Cressey: Justin Verlander, another former phenom with a Dombrowski connection.‘Unreal’ double feature: Mick Abel and Andrew Painter offer glimpse of what could be for Phillies
