Pitchers and catchers have their first workout of Spring Training today (February 15) at Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The first full squad workouts will be on Monday, February 20.

 

Morning workouts begin at 9:30, with fans having free access to the backfields (though the stadium will not be open to fans), according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The Major League Spring Training camp for the Rays will be at the Disney World facility until March 1. It will then shift to the Rays regular season stadium, Tropicana Field. However, the team’s Minor League Spring Training will remain at the ESPN Complex through March.

 

For good measure, the Rays first home Spring Training game will be against the New York Yankees on February 28 at Disney. But that will be the only preseason game at the ESPN Complex.

 

After being damaged by Hurricane Ian, the Rays’ normal Spring Training home, the Charlotte Sports Park complex, will not be available until next year.
