Phillies prepare for 2025 season with home opener, while Jacob Stallings excels with Rockies after eye retraining.

The Philadelphia Phillies are set to kick off their 2025 season with spring training beginning on February 12 in Clearwater, Florida. Fans can look forward to an exciting three-game series against the Washington Nationals starting March 27, followed by the highly anticipated home opener against the Colorado Rockies on March 31 at Citizens Bank Park, featuring a 35 p.m. ET start. The home opener promises to be a festive occasion, with special promotions including giveaways of 2024 NL East Champions Pennants to all attendees. Zack Wheeler is expected to take the mound as the Opening Day starter, while Cristopher Sánchez, Ranger Suárez, or newcomer Jesús Luzardo may start for the home opener.

In other notable developments, Jacob Stallings of the Colorado Rockies has made significant strides in his performance, thanks to eye retraining with Harrison from SlowTheGameDown Elite Visual Performance. Stallings achieved career-best statistics with a .263 batting average, .357 on-base percentage, .453 slugging percentage, and nine home runs over 82 games, earning him a new one-year contract worth $2.5 million with a 2026 option.

At the collegiate level, Mason Wilson of the Rollins Tars delivered a thrilling walk-off home run to clinch a 9-7 victory over the Valdosta State Blazers, marking a successful start to their season. Wilson`s standout performance included a double with two RBIs and a sacrifice fly, complemented by contributions from teammates Joey Rubin and Corey Zientek, who also hit home runs. The Tars managed to fend off a late surge from the Blazers, securing the win in dramatic fashion.
