Tim Tebow, starting quarterback for America's taxi squad, is of course trying to make a go of it in baseball. The former high school baseball standout is going to hold a showcase later this month in the hopes of latching on with a major-league organization. For a sneak preview of said showcase, please give measured consideration to Tebow taking some hacks in the cage ...

All right, so there he is. I'm not sure how recent that is, but it does appear to be Tim Tebow's taking some cuts. That stance is pretty wide (although that worked for Jeff Bagwell, among others), and there's probably not quite enough hip-and-shoulder separation going on early in the swing. That said, he gets the knob moving, which leads to this ...
There's some bat lag going on -- i.e., the hands leading the barrel -- which helps get a "whip effect" going, which is a good thing.
Tebow's swing is going to lead some yukking it up on social media, no doubt, but there are some positives going on here, at least to the extent that you can make judgments based off grainy footage of uncertain origin. Maybe you move those feet closer together to allow more room to stride and get a little better sequencing before impact, but that's not really a bad swing.
Developing!
