## Resource

Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect, Andrew Painter, is facing early challenges in the majors, with a surge in earned runs in his first six starts. Despite a promising minor league career, his fastball velocity has dropped, and hitters are capitalizing. Some compare him to Spencer Howard, who struggled initially, while others recall Cole Hamels slow start. Phillies management and fans are urged to be patient as Painter works on refining his pitch mix and regaining his velocity. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
