Florida Pro Baseball Overview
Florida Pro Baseball covers professional leagues including the Grapefruit League, Florida State League (FSL), and Florida Complex League (FCL). Coverage includes all Florida-based Major League Baseball (MLB) and Minor League Baseball (MiLB) teams.
The Florida baseball season begins with Spring Training in February and March. The MLB regular season runs from late March through late September, followed by the postseason in October. MiLB seasons run from April to September. The rookie-level FCL runs from early May through late July.
Each year, Florida welcomes 15 Grapefruit League teams to Spring Training. The state also features the 10-team Single-A FSL and the 15-team rookie-level FCL. During the regular season, Florida is home to two MLB teams: the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays. Florida hosts two upper-level MiLB affiliates: the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Professional baseball ballparks are located throughout Florida, with strong concentrations along the Gulf Coast and in South Florida.
