Painter struck out five and also handed out four free passes. The most encouraging development here is that the 22-year-old top prospect was hitting 99 mph in this outing and the stuff remains borderline elite. The results haven’t quite matched the hype in recent weeks, but that shouldn’t dampen enthusiasm for his impending arrival. There’s a path to starts with the Phillies at some point in the second half, but the front office is probably just fine with letting him continue to iron things out on the doorstep of the majors for now.
