Well, it didn’t take very long for Tim Tebow to make his mark in the baseball world.

On the very first pitch Tebow faced in the instructional league for the New York Mets, he smacked a home run.

Tebow still has a very, very long way to go before he makes it to the big leagues, but the athletic power has always been evident in Tebow. Now, he translated that power into an at bat. Not a bad start to a baseball career for a former Heisman winner.
