Tim Lincecum

Timothy Lincecum is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. He has played just two full seasons with the Giants, and he is already one of the most dominant pitchers in Major League Baseball (MLB). Nicknamed "The Freak" and "The Franchise," he throws right-handed and bats left-handed. Lincecum is known for his long stride, unorthodox mechanics, and ability to generate high velocity despite his slight build of 5'11," 172 lbs. Lincecum won the 2008 and 2009 National League Cy Young Awards and was the first second-year player to win the Cy Young since Dwight Gooden and Bret Saberhagen both won in 1985.
