THE MLB STORY
Tim Tebow announced in August of 2016 that, after washing out of the NFL, that his goal was to play in major league baseball.
Tebow was all-state as a baseball player in high school but he hadn’t played baseball since 2005.
Former MLB catcher Chad Moeller said this wasn’t a joke. "I am beyond impressed with Tim's athleticism and swing, and it goes without saying that he has shown a high level of discipline and strong work ethic. I see bat speed and power and real baseball talent. I truly believe Tim has the skill set and potential to achieve his goal of playing in the Major Leagues, and based on what I have seen over the past two months, it could happen relatively quickly."
Gary Sheffield also had nice things to say about Tebow. “He’s a NATURAL,” Sheffield wrote at the time. “I absolutely believe in his ability to play in the bigs. Tim has IT #focused.”
Tebow starting his attempt to make the big leagues after the Mets signed him and assigned him to the Arizona Fall League.
