Timothy Leroy Lincecum, born on 15 June 1984 and nicknamed the Freak, is an American former professional baseball pitcher who played ten seasons in Major League Baseball, mostly for the San Francisco Giants. A graduate of Liberty Senior High School in Renton, Washington, he pitched at the University of Washington, won the 2006 Golden Spikes Award and became the first Washington Husky chosen in the first round of an MLB draft, going tenth overall to the Giants. Despite a slight frame of 5 feet 11 inches and 170 pounds, he generated powerful pitches with unorthodox mechanics. He led the National League in strikeouts three years running from 2008 to 2010, won consecutive Cy Young Awards in 2008 and 2009, pitched no-hitters in 2013 and 2014, and won World Series titles with the Giants in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
