Tim Tebow is set to make his Arizona Fall League Debut on Tuesday with the Scottsdale Scorpions, and manager Tom Goodwin sounds optimistic about the former NFL quarterback’s adjustment to baseball.
“You're talking about a guy who has won a Heisman Trophy but also been cut four times. I think he knows what the challenge is," Goodwin told reporters. The longtime major league outfielder also serves as the first-base coach for the Mets during the MLB season.
“I think he's up for the challenge. I'm definitely looking forward to putting him out there. It's a huge jump for him, but I don't think it's anything he can't handle.
