New York Mets farmhand Tim Tebow went 0-for-2 against the reigning National League Cy Young winner, Max Scherzer, on seven pitches that touched 96 mph on the radar gun Monday in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Tebow, who will play on the Mets' Single-A Columbia Fireflies this season, went hitless in four plate appearances against the Nationals, striking out three times. The former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner is hitting .167 this spring with 8 strikeouts in 24 at-bats.
