The home run was his sixth of his minor league stint and the first walk-off of his career.
Since being promoted to High-A, Tebow is hitting .327 in 16 games, with an OPS of .972. The numbers are drastic improvements over his time in Low-A with the Columbia Fireflies, where he was hitting only .220 before his promotion.
Nevertheless, the former football star is still an attraction wherever he goes, including Hagerstown, Maryland.
