Tebow’s team announced that he would be holding a tryout for all 30 MLB teams later this month. Well, scouts from all 30 teams are invited anyway.

The last time Tebow picked up a baseball competitively was his junior year when he hit .494 and helped carry Nease to the final four of the Florida state playoffs.
