His progress is almost miraculous, given his lack of baseball background.
He’s been splitting LF with 27-year old Kevin Taylor, a converted 2Bman.
Taylor: 235 AB, .281 BA, 2 HR, 25 RBI
Tebow: 203 AB, .256 BA, 5 HR, 27 RBI
Tebow is weak defensively and has struck out 85 times in 203 ABs, 20+ more SOs than anyone else on the team. That’s actually an improving rate.
Tebow’s pretty good numbers are mostly due to a hot streak the last month. It takes a real ballplayer to even have a hot streak that long.
Over 40% strikeout rate at this level after being professionally coached for over a year is a big red flag, he needs to learn to make contact if he is ever going to move up.

Rooting for him though.
The problem with him is that he may get too old before he gets the pitch recognition of a college level player. That’s his whole problem. Every step up in baseball requires a huge step in patience at the plate, and the ability to foul off good pitches with a 2-strike count. He’s about 30 now.
