Spring Training occurs annually through February and March. It is a series of exhibition games and practices which occur before the beginning of the Major League Baseball regular season. This annual tradition allows for your and new players to compete for position and roster spots for Major League Baseball teams. It also allows for veterans and returning players to practice and get into shape before the start of the season. Spring training creates a spectacle annually. It attracts many fans, and draws big crowds who enjoy travelling to the warmer climates to watch and enjoy the activities that are all associated with Spring Training and the Cactus League. Spring training also usually occurs at the same time as college spring break, so that results in large groups of students travelling to Phoenix to watch the practice sessions and the exhibition games.
Spring training usually spans two months. It starts in mid February and continues up until opening day of the season, which is usually the 1st week of April. Traditionally pitchers and catchers appear for spring training first, arriving a week or two earlier then the position players. This is pitchers benefit more from a longer training camp. The longer training camp allows pitchers to become more accustom to the strain and stress that is required from playing their position.
Phoenix annually plays hosts to 9 Major League teams during spring training. Along with Arizona, Florida also is used as a training location as well. Watching Major League teams practice and Cactus League exhibition games is a fun way to spend an afternoon on a beautiful Phoenix Arizona spring day.
