Spring camp, also known as spring training, refers to the preseason period for professional baseball leagues, including Major League Baseball (MLB). This phase consists of a series of practices and exhibition games that occur before the start of the regular season.
The primary purpose of spring camp is to provide established players with practice time while allowing new players to try out for roster spots and specific positions. These events typically draw significant crowds of fans who travel to warm climates to enjoy the weather and watch their favorite teams compete.
