How Tim Tebow could make a legit path to the majors
Brock Hammit Updated at 11:10 a.m. ET Updated at 11:10 a.m. ET When it was announced that Tim Tebow was an Eastern League All-Star in Double-A, most people scoffed, others laughed and some people — including me — peeked into his numbers to see whether he really deserved it. But instead of discovering whether he deserved the honor, I found something else entirely. He could be only a couple of adjustments away from really putting it together. In fact, he’s only a couple of successful tweaks in his swing away from actually deserving his chance for a shot in the majors. MORE: SN's MLB Midseason Awards — with a twist! That’s right. I said it. If he makes a couple of adjustments to what he’s trying to accomplish at the plate, he will actually deserve the chance to get that call to the majors. Scoff all you want, but let’s break down the numbers. Tebow … [Read more...] about How Tim Tebow could make a legit path to the majors
Career .231 hitter Tim Tebow named to AA Eastern League all-star team
The 2018 Eastern League All-Star Game will feature some of the most talented prospects in all of baseball. And also Tim Tebow. The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback will join a lineup that includes elite prospects like Vlad Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and Brendan Rodgers for the AA league’s annual star-studded exhibition. And while there’s no questioning Tebow’s star power, his performance on the diamond has been, uh, less than sll-star material.

Tim Tebow’s stats are quickly on the rise in Double-A
Tim Tebow has struggled throughout much of the season with the Double-A affiliate of the New York Mets, but a strong month of June has the former Florida football star’s season looking a lot more respectable. With a 2-for-4 day in his Binghamton Rumble Ponies’ win over the Hartford Yard Goats on Saturday, Tebow raised his average to .256 on the year. While that is still less than stellar, he has hit extremely well over the past three weeks. “I’m improving, seeing pitches, leaving some bad pitches,” Tebow told reporters on Friday, per the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin. “I’m trying to be more direct to the baseball to do more damage with it.” Tebow is hitting .345 over Binghamton’s last 10 games, and his OPS of .736 on the year is decent. We’ve seen examples of the power he possesses with homers like this one, but consistency has obviously been the biggest issue for Tebow as he works his way through the Mets’ … [Read more...] about Tim Tebow’s stats are quickly on the rise in Double-A
Tim Tebow having his best month in minors, but still work to do
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Tim Tebow’s unglamorous minor-league life included this week an 0-for-4, two-strikeout night Wednesday, followed immediately by a five-hour bus ride and 5 a.m. arrival to his weekend destination. So it goes for Tebow, the Mets’ celebrity quarterback-turned-outfielder, and his Double-A teammates with the Binghamton Rumble Ponies. The grind is fun, he says, and he loves the competition, the hard work, the difficulty of a sport he picked up again less than two years ago after more than a decade away. But Tebow, 30, knows his professional baseball experiment can’t last forever. Nobody plays in the minors to stay in the minors. If he is going to make it to The Show — which remains his goal — this season is a critical one. “It’s a huge year,” Tebow said Thursday. “Especially the second half, it’s very important. It’s something I’m all-in on, working as hard as I can to make as many improvements … [Read more...] about Tim Tebow having his best month in minors, but still work to do
