TEBOW SHARP AT PLATE, IN FIELD IN FINAL TUNEUP

-

Tim Tebow might have had his best day as a New York Mets prospect. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL quarterbac­k had two hits, scored a run and ended a three-inning game with a sliding catch Tuesday in his final tuneup before his instructio­nal league debut. He is set to play Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals’ instructio­nal club. “I feel like every day I’m getting a little more comfortabl­e,” said Tebow, who singled in his last two at-bats of the simulated game. “It’s great just to see live pitching and get live at-bats. I’m just getting a little bit better every day. That’s the goal.”
