Braves expect several early arrivals to camp
The new baseball season is upon us with the Braves’ pitchers and catchers arriving at ESPN Wide World of Sports on Friday.
Position players aren’t required to report until Wednesday, a day before the team’s first full-squad workout and three days before the Grapefruit League opener against the Mets.
Some will be showing early, including first baseman Freddie Freeman, who was set to arrive sometime Friday, according to teammate Brian McCann.
Outfield prospects Drew Waters and Cristian Pache also are among the early arrivals. The Braves expect a number of position players flowing in during the weekend.
The pitchers and catchers will have their first workout Saturday.
