Tebow’s chances of making it to the big leagues are very small. Hitting .478 in 16 at bats in low A ball is fine for what it is. But by the same token it’s .478 in 16 at bats in low A ball. Plus he’s 29. Not old by baseball standards. but not young either.
Well, he’s perhaps on the road to a promotion up to AA ball.
In the minor leagues, a lot of players are eliminated after a season or two of Class A ball. Those who do well are promoted to AA ball. Those who do well move on to AAA, which is the step right below the major leagues. It’s a winnowing out process.
Sounds to me he is ready for the next level, and then repeat the process, see how well he does in AA.
I read that only a small fraction of players signed to minor league contracts make it to the major leagues. The competition is fierce to be able to move up.
As bad as the Mets season is going they might bring him up in September just to sell tickets.
29 isn’t old when you have been playing baseball consistently at a high level for most of your twenties. It is pretty old when you are trying to get back into it in your late 20s after being away from the game. Who knows, he is an athlete. Has he stolen any bases, is he fast?
