J.T. Realmuto gives verdict on top Phillies prospect Andrew Painter J.T. Realmuto has been with the Philadelphia Phillies since 2019. During his time with the team, he has seen several top prospects rise and make a name for themselves.

Likely to make Opening Day rotation Painter threw two clean innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He struck out one.

Impact Painter's spring debut went swimmingly -- he fired 14 of his 20 pitches for strikes and his four-seam fastball reached 97 mph on six occasions. With Zack Wheeler (shoulder) expected to start the new campaign on the injured list, the Phillies have an eye toward including Painter in the Opening Day rotation, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. While he turned in a lackluster 5.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 106.2 innings at Triple-A Lehigh Valley a year ago, the 22-year-old right-hander remains one of Philadelphia's top prospects and has an opportunity to overtake Taijuan Walker as the club's No. 5 starter even when Wheeler rejoins the rotation.

With Zack Wheeler (thoracic outlet syndrome) out until at least late April, the Phillies are planning on Painter making their rotation to begin the season despite his substandard 2025 Triple-A season.
