We’ve come a long way since 2019—the last “normal” spring-training season—and all signs indicate that 2023 will finally be the time when we can worry less about labor lockouts and ballpark COVID restrictions and worry more about what’s happening on the field. A time for fresh beginnings.

And spring training is a time of new beginnings, when the baseball world preps for another season, as rookies fight for roster spots and veterans prep for another campaign. Every team in spring training has a shot to contend for a title, as life on the diamond begins anew.

This book is meant for all types of spring-training fans. Hardcore baseball fans scout their favorite teams and eagerly track every open roster spot. Casual fans head to spring training in search of the perfect Florida experience, happy to sip a brew at the outfield bar.

Coverage is arranged by area: Gulf Coast (where the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, and Minnesota Twins), greater Tampa Bay (where the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays train), and the Port St. Lucie/Jupiter/Palm Beach area (where the Houston Astros, Miami Marlins, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, and Washington Nationals train). We also include coverage of other sports, the wide variety of college baseball venues, notable historic baseball destinations throughout Florida, and an overview of offerings in Orlando, a popular spring-training destination for fans of all teams.

Changes for the 2023 spring-training season are highlighted, including the return of the World Baseball Classic and its impact on your travel plans, the status of upgrades in Jupiter and Clearwater, and new ballpark amenities.
