Andrew Painter’s early-season struggles are real — his first-inning ERA is a brutal 9.56, the worst among any pitcher with 15+ starts. Despite giving up a grand slam in his latest outing, he’s been dominant once past the first inning, posting a 1.69 ERA and low batting average against. The Phillies win when he pitches, but they’re often forced to claw back from early deficits. Painter admits it takes time to find his rhythm, and the team needs him sharp from pitch one. Could a bullpen opener or tweaked routine be the fix? The Phillies must unlock his full potential from the very first frame if they want to maximize his impact.
