Tim Tebow's journey toward becoming a professional baseball player will now shift from Florida to South Carolina, after the New York Mets announced Monday the former NFL quarterback would join the team's Single-A affiliate.

The Columbia Fireflies subsequently offered up a first look at the 29-year-old - who was 4-for-20 during big-league camp - in his new uniform on Wednesday morning.

Tebow, who's expected to play the outfield for the Fireflies, signed a minor-league contract with the Mets in September.
