Tim Lincecum

From Wikipedia : Timothy Leroy Lincecum (born June 15, 1984, in Bellevue, Washington) is an American baseball player who is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. He is nicknamed "The Franchise"[1] and "The Freak."[2] Lincecum's first major league start was broadcast throughout North America by ESPN on the evening of May 6, 2007.[3]

He throws right-handed and bats left-handed.[4] Lincecum is known for his long stride, unorthodox mechanics, and ability to generate high velocity despite his slight build of 5'11", 172 lbs.[5] Lincecum won the 2008 NL Cy Young Award, becoming the first second-year player to win the Cy Young since Dwight Gooden and Bret Saberhagen both won in 1985. His repertoire includes a two-seam fastball that reaches well into the mid-nineties, a changeup he grips like a splitter, a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, and a slider. He also has a four-seam fastball, but rarely uses it.
