No matter what you think about former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow's baseball aspirations, we're now one step closer to the story's resolution.

That's because Tebow has scheduled a private showcase for next week, according to Jon Heyman:

Tebow is almost certainly going to sign a contract with some organization. He's an impressive athlete with good raw power and a reputation as a high-makeup individual. Those are positive traits. Still, it's hard to see him reaching the upper-minors, let alone the majors.

The available footage of Tebow taking hacks shows a long, stiff swing that's going to lead to huge strikeout totals. Add in his lack of recent exposure versus high-level pitching, and the likelihood that he's limited to an outfield corner or first base, and there's a good chance he whiffs himself out of organized ball in a hurry.

Of course, that doesn't make Tebow's attempt a complete failure -- it just means that the storybook ending isn't happening.
