Nicknamed “The Freak”, Tim Lincecum is an unusual MLB pitcher both for his stature and for his style. Lincecum is only 5’1″ 175 lbs, which is quite small for an MLB pitcher, but due to his unorthodox throwing style, he gets tremendous velocity and movement on the ball. He’s only been in the league a few years (since being drafted out of the University of Washington), but he’s already won two Cy Young Awards (given to the top pitcher in each league) and been an All-Star three times. The sky is truly the limit for Lincecum, hopefully his body can hold up to the rigors of pitching for the San Francisco Giants.
