Day 1 of Spring Training for Braves

Spring training is getting underway in Florida for the Atlanta Braves. Pitchers and catchers were the first to arrive in Northport, Florida.

ATLANTA - Spring training for the Atlanta Braves is commencing in Florida as they set their sights on securing their 7th consecutive National League East title this year. However, despite two back-to-back 100-win seasons, the Braves have faced disappointing exits in the National League Division Series, with last year's defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The action begins with pitchers and catchers reporting to North Port on Feb. 14, with position players slated to join them on the same day. The first full squad workout is scheduled for Feb. 20, leading up to the eagerly anticipated Grapefruit League opener against the Tampa Bay Rays on Feb. 24.
