Tim Tebow goes deep in Mets batting practice

Spring is almost here, and that means the return of baseball – and former Florida quarterback legend Tim Tebow’s return to the diamond for spring training.

Tebow’s minor league career has had its ups and downs, but nine years after he completed his last season behind center for Urban Meyer’s Gators, he’s still got power.

Maybe a whole lot of power.

As reported by New York Mets reporter Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Tebow showed off his long-ball touch during batting practice with the club during spring training in Florida on Thursday morning.
