When Tim Tebow announced he was pursuing professional baseball, we asked whether he'd have a career. At least 48 percent of voters were correct -- he signed with the New York Mets, and on Wednesday he made his instructional league debut.
By now you probably know: He homered on the first pitch he saw.
So, we have to ask:
Tebow ended up going 1-for-6 in Port St. Lucie, Florida, logging five innings in left field and cutting off the lone ball hit in his direction to hold the batter to a single.
His home run came off 6-foot-5 left-hander John Kilichowski, who was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 11th round out of Vanderbilt University in June.
"I liked a lot of my at-bats today," Tebow said. "I felt like I hit the ball really hard four of the six times. ... Four of the at-bats I felt really, really good about. I didn't swing at any breaking balls. I didn't feel like I really got fooled seeing it. I felt good seeing it out on the hand. I was just late on a couple of the fastballs."
