Tebow played his final game for Scottsdale on Thursday and finished with a .194 average after a single and two walks. It was just the second time Tebow reached base more than once in a game, but both of those were in his last four games.
In 19 games, he went 12-for-62 with eight walks and 20 strikeouts. He had three doubles, which were Tebow’s only extra-base hits, as he split time between the AFL and his work as a college football broadcaster for the SEC Network.
Tim Tebow hit nine home runs over a span of four batting practice rounds Monday during his first workout at Mets camp.
They were all to either left field or right-center, per Mark Saxon of ESPN.com. It was an impressive power show from Tebow -- who reworked his swing over the winter between college football broadcasting duties -- but it's still difficult to see this baseball experiment progressing beyond Low-A ball. Tebow, 29, batted .194/.296/.242 with 20 strikeouts over 62 at-bats in the 2016 Arizona Fall League.
I'm pretty sure they know he's getting coverage because he's the guy that won a heisman, a national championship, and a playoff game, not because he hit a few home runs in BP. It's not like Sportscenter was going to be there covering the minor league right fielder who hit 16 home runs in BP if not for Tebow stealing their thunder.How pissed off do a bunch of career guys have to be? This guy shows up and gets front page ESPN coverage for hitting 9 BP bombs in 4 rounds? Just a joke that's getting coverage.
100x more interesting than the WBC0-3 with a HBP and a GIDP.
The DP plated a run because he's so clutch
You left out that he was easily doubled-up on second after a line drive.0-3 with a HBP and a GIDP.
The DP plated a run because he's so clutch
That worked out well.Batting cleanup today against Max and the Nats
Trivia: who was the manager of that Birmingham team?After a half season each in the Class A Sally and Florida State leagues last season, Tebow's next step should be to the AA Binghamton Rumble Ponies.
He has a legitimate shot to better Michael Jordan's 1994 AA line of .202/.289/.266
