spring training
Spring training is a preseason practice period for professional baseball teams, primarily in the United States. It typically takes place in February and March, allowing players to prepare for the upcoming Major League Baseball season. Teams usually hold their training in warmer climates, such as Florida and Arizona, where they can practice outdoors.
During spring training, players participate in workouts, practice games, and drills to improve their skills and build team chemistry. This period also allows coaches to evaluate players, including rookies and those vying for a spot on the final roster. Fans often attend games to see their favorite teams and players in action.
