Happy Pitchers and Catchers Day!

It’s here – the first of three ‘it’s about time’ days which, in all honesty, a good many of us thought might never happen, with the other two being the first actual Spring Training game and, of course, Opening Day 2021. It is the day that Dodgers pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training.

Although the workout bullpens at Camelback Ranch – Glendale will be devoid of eager Dodger fans behind rope lines hoping for a glimpse (or autograph) from their favorite pitcher or catcher, the Ranch will be abuzz with activity.

(Note: Although position players are not due to report until Tuesday, February 23, most of them show up when pitchers and catchers report).
