NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — After spending a year in the minor leagues, Tim Tebow will soon find out if he can hold his own against big-league competition.
The Mets announced Friday that Tebow is among the non-roster invitees to their major league spring training in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Following a three-year NFL career that saw him play for the Denver Broncos and Jets, the Heisman Trophy winner decided in 2016 to try his hand at baseball, a sport he excelled at in high school. His power and athleticism impressed scouts and eventually led to him signing with the Mets that September.
