Tim Tebow continues to make magic happen.
The two-sport athlete homered on the first pitch he saw in Double-A this season, launching a 3-run homer to right field for the Birmington Rumble Ponies:

The 30-year-old displayed good power in his pro baseball debut last season, smacking eight home runs in 126 games over two levels. He may have batted .226, but for a guy who hadn’t played baseball since high school, he held his own. This is quite the start for him in the New York Mets’ system this year, especially after his shaky start in spring training.
