In his fourth year participating in spring training with the New York Mets, Tim Tebow had a breakthrough moment when he hit his first home run Tuesday.

Facing Tigers reliever Alex Wilson in the sixth inning, Tebow crushed a pitch that cleared the left-field fence, as captured by Twitter user Jonathan Vasquez.

Hitting a homer on its own is impressive enough, but the left-handed-hitting Tebow showed opposite-field power with that swing.

The Mets signed Tebow to a minor league deal in August 2016. He has been invited to spring training with the MLB team in each of the past four seasons.
