J.T. Realmuto Impressed as Andrew Painter Sits 98-99 in Spring Training

“So far, he looks great,” Realmuto said after watching Painter’s bullpen. “It was 98-99, and it’s just easy,” he added, noting the velocity comes without “max effort.” Realmuto said injuries can disrupt command on return, but Painter’s feel still stands out. “When he’s right,” he said, he’s “like [Zack] Wheeler... but able to throw the ball in the edges."
