MLB: Spring Training-Miami Marlins at St. Louis Cardinals

Pitchers and catchers technically report to Spring Training on February 11, but that has not kept most of them away. As of now, there are St. Louis Cardinals playing baseball, the notable among them including Jack Flaherty, Alex Reyes, and Kwang-hyun Kim. Do not just take my word for it, though, let’s look at some photos and watch some videos, courtesy of the diligent Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat and MLB.com and Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch:

Kim is one of 17 pitchers warming up on the field - a day before official report. In the delicate art of picking another pitcher to play catch with, Kim has paired with John Gant. https://t.co/fd2MLHV7GE

Jack Flaherty takes the hill, and Austin Gomber very courteously attempts not to block the shot. pic.twitter.com/o01CGDC38w
