This just might be the end for Tim Tebow as he continues to pursue a Major League Baseball career.
In 21 games played with the Syracuse Mets, the former Heisman Trophy winner has slumped to a .143 batting average and .396 OPS with 27 strikeouts in 70 at-bats, according to the NY Post.
It’s a complete 180 turn to what he did in 2018 when Tebow exceeded expectations by hitting .273 in 84 games at Double-A Binghamton.
Despite his recent troubles, he still remains just as positive as he always has.
“I think for me, it’s to improve every single day, continue to focus on the process, and make strides in every area — [on the] basepaths, outfield, and at the plate, of course,” Tebow told reporters on Monday in Allentown, Pa., before facing the Phillies’ Triple-A affiliate.
“I think it’s not just about if I make the majors or don’t, I think it’s enjoying what you do, and I think that should be a goal for everyone, actually, is to love what you do,” the former Heisman Trophy winner said. “And that’s why I started playing this in the first place, because it was something that I missed and I wanted to give it a shot.”
What is abundantly clear is that Tebow has a LONG way to go before he even gets considered to make it to the big league.
