Scout’s note
Andrew Painter is a 6-foot-7 right-hander from Pompano Beach who debuted on Opening Day 2026 after years of arm trouble. He has struck out 63 in 16 appearances, including 10 over his last two, which is the one true thing his line says: the stuff is still there.
What he’s paid
Pre-arbitrationA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $0.62Mest
- Tax hit
- $0.62M
- Service time
- 0 yr 0 d
- Options left
- 3 / 3
The deal 1 year $0.8M (2026)
On the sheet: 1 y/$780,000 (26)
Regime read from his service time, not from the sheet — it does not project him past this season. Super Two eligibility is the top 22% of a class and can move this line in a way service time alone cannot see.
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Philadelphia Phillies.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Minimum | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 | Arb 4 |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The scouting press, in their own words
Andrew Painter's fastball over his last 2 starts... -Velocity ⬆️ 0.7 mph, added 250 rpm -2.1" more vertical break (ride) -Extension ⬆️ ~2.5" -FanGraphs Stuff+ from 92 to 115 🤯 Talk about fixing a problem. Grip appears similar... delivery work driving the change? #Phillies
Andrew Painter's new changeup is a subtle tweak off his old splitter. Slight rotation of ball, middle finger closer to his index finger. April: 87.2 mph, 6.5" vert, 11" arm-side Since Break: 90.1 mph, 4.7" vert, 13" arm-side Harder with more drop is a nice combo. #Phillies https://t.co/g2mC68zinv
Umpire favor
-2.9 net runs over 17 graded games — the zone cost him more than it gave, on balance.
