If at first you don’t succeed, try a different sport.

Tim Tebow, who was a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Florida but was unable to hold an NFL job, is pursuing a career in Major League Baseball. He will hold a workout for MLB teams this month, his agents told ESPN and other news outlets.

“This may sound like a publicity stunt, but nothing could be further from the truth,” said Brodie Van Wagenen, co-head of CAA Baseball, part of the sports agency CAA Sports, in the statement. “I have seen Tim’s workouts, and people inside and outside the industry — scouts, executives, players and fans — will be impressed by his talent.”

It has been over a decade since Tebow has played baseball full time. But former major league catcher Chad Moeller, who said in the statement that he had been training Tebow in Arizona, said he was “beyond impressed with Tim’s athleticism and swing.”

As a junior at Nease High in Ponte Vedra, Florida, Tebow drew the attention of major league scouts, batting .494 with four home runs as a left fielder. But he ditched the bat and glove in favor of pigskin, leading Florida to two national championships, in 2007 and 2009.
