Tim Tebow's stats from first week in Double A
See ball, hit ball has become a challenge for Tim Tebow during his first week in Double-A since homering in his first at-bat.
Since blasting a three-run homer on the first pitch he saw this season for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies,
Tim Tebow has struggled to put the ball in play against quality pitching at the Double-A level.
Just four games in, Tebow has hit a wall during his first week with eight strikeouts in his first 15 at-bats. Tebow's only hit in 14 trips to the plate since his long ball was a single to first base on Monday against the Akron RubberDucks.
Hitting seventh and playing left field, Tebow's .133 average is third-worst among regulars and strikeout total a team-high.
"Baseball's a game where it's never too high and never too low," Tebow said after the season opener. "It's just one at-bat and just one pitch, so you have to be focused. Tomorrow is another day where I have to improve."
Tebow worked on a new swing this offseason, a shortened power stroke designed to come faster through the zone. But off-speed pitches remain Tebow's primary weakness.
