Description
Tim Lincecum Signed Bat with "The Freak"
San Francisco Giants Pitcher Tim Lincecum attended the University of Washington, where in 2004 he became the first player ever to be named both the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year. In 2006, he finished with a 1.94 ERA and 199 strikeout on his way to winning the 2006 Golden Spikes Award, presented annually to the best amateur baseball player. Tim was drafted 10th overall by the Giants and made his major league debut on May 6, 2007 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Tim earned a no-decision that game but it was clear to everyone watching that nationally televised contest that they were witnessing the debut of a special young pitcher. Despite his small 5'11"/170 pound size, Lincecum's arm is as strong as it gets as his fastball frequently tops out at 100 mph. And in 2008, Tim showed just how special he is. On May 15, 2008, after striking out 10 Houston Astros in 6 innings, Astros first baseman Lance Berkman, no slouch at the plate, offered his view of Lincecum: "He's got as good of stuff as I've ever seen...he's got three almost unhittable pitches." Tim went on to post a 18-5 Record, 2.62 ERA and a Major League leading 265 strikeouts, was a 2008 All-Star selection and was the winner of the 2008 NL Cy Young Award. And in '09 Timmy kept it going being named the National League Starting Pitcher in the 2009 All-Star Game and again winning the NL Cy Young Award, becoming the 1st pitcher in baseball history to win this prestigious award in his first full two years in the League. Enjoy the signed baseball bat as a treasured collectible of an amazing pitcher! |
