## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates are already gearing up for 2027 Spring Training, kicking off February 19th in Bradenton, Florida — their 59th year at LECOM Park. With a local-heavy schedule featuring AL East, NL East, and AL Central foes, they’ll face the Orioles six times and Blue Jays five, including a wild doubleheader against the Red Sox and Orioles on March 12th. Meanwhile, baseball is testing an automated ball-strike system in spring games, letting players challenge calls via pitch-tracking tech — a potential game-changer for umpiring accuracy.
