It is correct, and it makes sense too. High school and college plays feb or march to june. Rookie ball plays half a season as well. Having the season start in july causes the draftees to go from playing half a season to a random full season back to half a season, which can be a bit too much (especially for arms).
Changing to an april start and ending in june-ish allows for draftees to not overwork themselves AND for teams to have one more season of evaluation before cuts need to be made.
