Spring training starts days after Super Bowl XLVIII. Pitchers, catchers, and position players will begin reporting to camps in Arizona and Florida for workout and training sessions. By the end of the month, exhibition games will begin as Opening Day is set for March 28. MLB announced each team’s spring training reporting dates at the beginning of January. Each team has its own dates for spring training, but all camps open within a span of a few days from each other. Pitchers and catchers arrive first, following the position players who don’t have to show up a few days later.
Here are this year’s spring training reporting dates and workout schedules. Cactus League teams work out in Arizona, and Grapefruit League teams train in Florida.
