With temperatures in the 60s expected in New York this week, it’s finally starting to feel like spring, which means it’s the perfect time for our first King of Spring Training update for 2021!
It’s been a long, hard winter and a long, hard year. Last season’s KoST contest was cut short after just one update, as roughly one year ago, spring training was shut down due to the growing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Very few people, if anyone, knew at the time that one year later, we still wouldn’t be out of the woods yet. MLB will have to continue to operate under strict precautions, even as it attempts a full 162-game season.
