It’s the day baseball fans have been waiting for! Phillies spring training officially begins on Wednesday in Clearwater, Florida.
Pitchers and catchers are set to have their first workout together. Some players were already on the field on Tuesday.
The first full-squad workout is slated for February 16.
The Phillies will play their first spring training game on February 21.
Last week, the team packed up their equipment truck to bring all the gear they would need, including 2,400 baseballs, 1,200 bats, 140 helmets, 300 batting gloves, and thousands of clothing items like shirts, jackets, socks, and belts.
This year marks the team’s 80th spring training season in Clearwater.
