MLB pitchers and catchers report for spring training next week, and position players join them the week after. Here are reporting dates for teams around the league:
2023 Cactus League spring training reporting dates
2023 Grapefruit League spring training reporting dates
On February 4, 1956, Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick introduced the Cy Young Memorial Award in memory of the Hall of Fame pitcher, who died the previous year. The award was established as a way of honoring the outstanding major league pitcher of the year. The first recipient would be Don Newcombe, who posted a 27-7 record and a 3.06 ERA for the Dodgers during the 1956 season.
MLB posted a graphic on their social media recently listing game times for Opening Day, which serves as a lovely reminder that pitchers and catchers report in about two weeks, and we are less than two months away from baseball’s official return.
Time is ticking. ⏰
