Tim Tebow can hit the ball a long way. His power is one of the biggest reasons why New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson thinks the former NFL quarterback will play in the majors one day.
On Thursday morning, Tebow once again showed off that power during batting practice.
Anthony DiComo, a Mets beat writer for MLB.com, posted a tweet to let people know Tebow hit a shed beyond the right-center field wall on a huge home run, saying “His power is legitimate.”
Your daily Tim Tebow update: He just hit the roof of a storage shed beyond the right-center field fence during BP. His power is legitimate. pic.twitter.com/vlmMLWE5D7

That’s all well and good, and, let’s be honest, the average Joe and Janet couldn’t do that.
Just don’t tell that to Twitter.
I played on that field in Mets fantasy camp and hit that shed as well not a big deal lol

I’m an outsider with this Tebow/Mets stuff… but is 380’ considered a powerful shot?
I’m sure Tebow without a doubt can hit a ball over 400+. He’s a big athletic dude lol. 380 is a flyout to center field— David J Steffens (@DavidJSteffens) February 22, 2018

A quick rebuttal here: Tebow is definitely better than “a AAAA guy,” based on the fact he did pretty well at St. Lucie (A+) last year after being called up from Columbia.
And while many were scoffing at the notion that Tebow hitting a storage shed was a big deal, it’s clear he still has his fans.
Was his power ever even questioned? Look at the guy

Sure are a lot of haters coaching their kids teams or working behind a desk saying they can do it too. No one is forcing you to watch. It's a choice. Move along. pic.twitter.com/0ysP24HI0A

It’s going to be fascinating to see how Tebow progresses on his journey as a baseball player. He’s clearly having the time of his life, and he draws a crowd like none other. Stay tuned, folks, because Tebow Time isn’t close to becoming extinct.
