Introduction

The regular season
The regular season is played over 162 games, which typically starts the first week of April and ends the first week of October. The postseason is a single-elimination tournament held in October, featuring the eight teams with the best records from each league.
Spring training
Spring training is a warm-up period in which professional baseball teams prepare to play the regular season. Spring training can be referred to as a “factory for democracy”, due to the way fans can follow their teams throughout the league. Spring training generally starts in February and ends in April, with most teams playing about 30 games V
The first professional team, the Boston Red Stockings, started preparing for the season in 1870. Pitchers and catchers report first, followed by position players. In recent years, some teams have started holding their spring training in other states or even other countries, such as Japan and Australia.
Although most players are already in good shape when they report to spring training, they use the time to fine-tune their skills and get used to playing with new teammates. The games are mostly exhibition games and do not count towards the regular season standings.
Conclusion
The baseball season for 2022 will start on April 3 and end on October 2. There will be a total of 162 games played.
