Tim Tebow notches first hit of Arizona Fall League stint

It might have taken him longer than he would have liked, but Tim Tebow finally has his first hit in the Arizona Fall League.

Tebow snapped his 0 for 13 drought in the league that features many of MLB's top upper-level prospects by hitting a line drive single to left field in his second at-bat with the Scottsdale Scorpions on Tuesday.

The single came against Mesa Solar Sox right-hander Duane Underwood Jr., a Chicago Cubs prospect who went 0-5 with a 4.91 ERA in 13 starts with Double-A Tennessee during the regular season.

Tebow started 0-for-9 in the Arizona Fall League, then took the weekend off to fulfill his duties as a college football analyst for ESPN. He returned to the diamond on Monday and went 0-for-3 before his breakthrough on Tuesday.

The Mets signed Tebow to a minor league deal worth $100,000 last month.
