We have others like Kolek,Tyler Kinley,Andy Beltre,Ellington who hit 97+ regularly. The issue with them is they can't throw them for strikes

Last year for the Atlanta Braves at Disney. Pretty much the last remaining site in Eastern Central Florida. Spring Training's been such a staple of my life since I was a kid. Nothing better than getting out of school and going to a 1:00 spring training game. It's a shame the bus ride was such a hang-up. I do plan on making it down to Jupiter for a game this year, though.

Has anyone been to the new astros/Nats spring training stadium in WPB? Im probably gonna go to a marlins game there or RDS depending on the schedule.

it's actually not anymore. They'll be at Disney next year as well.

I've never gotten down there and it would have been difficult for me this year as well, but now I have another year to make it happen.

[Nick]

Holy Crap, you just made my day.

I had no idea until last week when I was lamenting that I wouldn't get down there, and someone surprised me with the news.

That Braves stadium is really cool to watch a game at. Played a travel ball game there once.

It's the nicest spring training facility I've been to, it's crazy to me that they're leaving.

No other teams in the area anymore.

[Nick]

yeah I know the reasoning. I said it above. The Dodgers leaving Vero Beach was the killer. Left the Nats, Astros and Braves on an island. All had great facilities that they left.

Tigers aren't too far away. They're going to be the most isolated after all the moves I think. Obviously still fairly close to Tampa, but still.

[Nick]

They just did a bunch of renovations at the Tigers facility as well, so you would think they'd be sticking around. They also have a pretty extensive history in Lakeland.

I remember when the Orioles used to play at that dump in Pompano. I wish there were more down here.
