The Cactus League spring training season gets underway in February as pitchers and catchers from 15 Major League Baseball teams report to their respective stadiums around the Valley.
The Phoenix area is home to 15 teams and 10 stadiums. Five of the facilities host two teams every spring.
The teams typically have pitchers and catchers arrive four or five days before the rest of the team. Then there's about one week of workouts before the spring-training games begin.
