After a cold, harsh winter, spring training is essential to baseball fans everywhere. Nothing encapsules the renewing spirit of baseball like spring training, when the baseball world preps for another season, when 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. For the rest of us, a day away from snow and ice is always a good day.

Coverage is arranged by area: Gulf Coast (where the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins, and Tampa Bay Rays train), greater Tampa Bay (where the Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, 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 within an easy drive of training sites, 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 2026 spring-training season are highlighted, including renovations to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and new ballpark amenities, as well as coverage of the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

Each chapter features:

  • Best seats in each ballpark, whether you want comfort, shade, accessibility or autographs
  • Ballpark tips
  • Must-sees before and after the games, including local baseball attractions and sports bars
  • Training information, to plan a trip before the games start
  • Information on new and renovated ballparks
  • Travel tips: Low fares at nearby airports, alternative routes (beat the traffic!) and freeway shortcuts
  • College games: create your own day-night doubleheaders
