Max Scherzer makes quick work of Tim Tebow (Video)
What would it look like if Tim Tebow actually got a shot to play in the majors? Max Scherzer gave us a glimpse of how it might turn out in a spring training game on Monday.
Scherzer pitched five innings in the Washington Nationals’ exhibition against the New York Mets, and he got a chance to face Tebow. He put him away on three straight fastballs. Observe:

The chances of Tebow ever appearing in an MLB game are slim, and that at-bat should give you an idea as to why. While Scherzer is one of the best pitchers in baseball, Tebow is nowhere nearing be able to compete with top talent and probably never will be. If you want to know how out of place the former Florida Gators star has looked in spring training, just read what last year’s AL Cy Young Award winner had to say about him.
