Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow says he is "getting better every week" in his transition to a minor league baseball player for the Mets' Class A affiliate.

The 29-year-old Tebow continues to have ups and downs, hitting .231 with two home runs and nine RBIs through 22 games for the Class A Columbia Firefiles. He had his best game recently, going 3-for-4 with his first-ever triple.

"I went this route for a reason," Tebow told The State after scoring the game-winning run in the 2-1 victory over Delmarva in Columbia, S.C., on Tuesday night. "I'm doing something I love. And I'm not going to look back with regret. When we are doing that, we are never looking at the present and missing the right now. And you won't be as good you can in the future."
