The start of pitchers and catchers for the Philadelphia Phillies is just 35 days away.

The team announced this morning that the first official workout for pitchers and catchers will take place on February 16th, while the first full-team workout is on February 21st.

Phillies Pitchers and Catchers Start Date Announced

The first day of pitchers and catchers is always one of the year’s best days. It’s usually a long wait for Phillies fans, but after their magical run to the World Series in 2022, the team had to wait just two and a half months for the season to start back up again.

The 2023 season is going to be a special one in Philadelphia, with the addition of star shortstop Trea Turner, along with Taijuan Walker to the rotation and Matt Strahm to the special Phillies bullpen.
