Herts Baseball Club published details of its Spring Training schedule. The adult baseball teams will be back in training on Sunday, 26 January.
The Club has invested again to secure high quality venues including The Harefield Academy which offers a large indoor 3G artificial grass venue.
Other venues include Middlesex University (pictured below) and JFK School.
The Herts baseball teams will return to the ballpark for the first time on March 1st.
The first pre-season games of 2020 are expected to be played on 14 and 15 March* as part of the Herts Spring League (HSL).
The Show begins in April as the Herts baseball teams get their 2020 league seasons underway.
As always, around the middle of March the managers of the five Herts adult teams will announce their preliminary rosters ahead of the HSL. Of course these preliminary rosters are likely to change as we get closer to Opening Day and managers promote those who impress in Spring Training. The movement of Herts players up and down the Herts league teams is usually an ongoing process. We have witnessed players start the season in the Single-A League and end up making their NBL debut later in the year. We will follow players’ progress over the course of Spring Training and during the league season.
