October 31, 20241 yr And F La and F the Dodgers. I am sure mlb loved having a team from each coast..... but f em both.
October 31, 20241 yr https://thatballsouttahere.com/phillies-prospect-andrew-painter-shines-top-performer-arizona-fall-league-01jba03d43es Andrew Painter's 'new' pitch will make him even better than we remember But in the midst of this short but efficient dominance from the young pitcher, Painter somehow dazzled even further and added a new trick to his set, per Sam Dykstra of MLB.com. Painter himself has called it a slider. "It's a slider,” Painter said, per Dykstra. "It’s the same pitch, same grip, just a different thought process. One of them, the slower one, is for a strike most of the time. When I get to two strikes, it's the same grip, but I'm just thinking to go gloveside away to a righty and in on a lefty. I'm just thinking more heater with it. Same grip though.” Painter first used a hard breaking ball during last spring training, leaving many a buzz about whether he would be on the major league roster to start the 2023 season (he probably would have done better than Taijuan Walker). But with this slider or cutter or whatever you want to call it, it was definitely effective in his most recent outing. He threw seven against Salt River, and six were dotted (or you can say painted) in the zone for strikes, and one was thrown for a swing and a miss

Would be nice to have a professional hitter in the box.....

It seemed like a 10-year contract with like 5 team option years. It'll be interesting to see how he does with another organization.

He was great the first 76 games. Then the last 67 games his slashes were similar to Stott’s season totals. Stott slashes: .245/.315/.356/.671 Bohm’s last 67 games since 4 hit game vs. Tigers: 242/.292/.381/.673 bohm’s first 78 games and through 4 hit game at tigers: .313/.366/.507/.873
