Tim Lincecum

by Sebastian from Antioch, California


My hero is Tim Lincecum because he is to me one of the best pitchers in the world. Tim also won the Cy Young award which is an award for best pitcher in their division. He was the first Giant since Mike Macormick in 1967 to win this award.

Tim Lincecum was born June 15, 1984 in Bellevue Washington. He is nicknamed he Franchise and The Freak. Despite his size, 5'11, 172 pounds, he can still throw the ball over 90mph. His fast ball is the two seam fastball, there are two types of fastballs the two seam fastball which makes the ball sink, and there is the four seam fastball which goes straight. He also likes the curve ball, slider, change up, and the sinker.
