New York Mets: The Tim Tebow scouting report and timeline

The New York Mets have invited Tim Tebow to Spring Training this year, one of nine minor leaguers to get the call thus far. Will he ever get a chance in the majors?

Let’s face it – there are not any minor league players that will attract attention like New York Mets farmhand Tim Tebow. From his exploits on the gridiron, particularly in college, Tebow gained a great deal of notoriety. Add in his incredible personality and story, and it is no surprise that he has amassed a legion of diehard fans and supporters.

Unsurprisingly, that fanbase is eagerly awaiting Tebow to reach the majors. However, that attempt to get to the Mets is going to be a long and arduous process. After all, prior to his appearance in the Arizona Fall League in 2016, he had not played baseball since high school. It certainly showed with his struggles thus far in his professional career.

Even with those strugges, the Mets are not giving up on Tebow. He has received an invitation to Spring Training, one of nine minor leaguers to be brought over as non roster invitees. While it is exceedingly unlikely that Tebow joins the Mets for Opening Day, getting more help from the major league coaching staff could help accelerate his development.

With the time and effort being expended with Tim Tebow, it is understandable that fans are wondering if, or when, he will reach the majors. Let us take a look at what that timeline could be.
