The net worth of a Filipino-American baseball player, Tim Lincecum, is $40 million dollars.
On June 15, 1984, Tim Lincecum was born in Bellevue, Washington.
Lincecum, also known as The Freak and Big Time Timmy Jim, plays for the San Francisco Giants in the Major League Baseball league.
His major professional accomplishments consist of winning the NL Cy Young Award in 2008 and 2009, appearing in four All-Star Games from 2008 to 2011, being a part of the 2010 and 2012 World Series champions, receiving the Babe Ruth Award in 2010 as the most valuable player in the MLB postseason, leading the National League in strikeouts three times, from 2008 to 2010, throwing the first no-hitter against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in 2013, and repeating his performance against the Padres in 2014, this time at AT&T Park.
During his childhood, Tim would join his dad and brother Sean in pitching and replicate everything he saw.
Tim had the perfect body to imitate dad Chris’s distinctive windup, complete with a series of torso turns and arm whipping action, punctuated by a long stride towards the plate.
Chris Lincecum is believed by some coaches, writers, and broadcasters to have created his signature pitching motion by studying Sandy Koufax. Chris asserts that his unique delivery was entirely his own.
Tim’s games were recorded by his father Chris over the years, and they analyzed them together.
During games, Chris created a set of hand gestures for Tim, which he would display to his son to indicate any errors in his mechanics.
Soon enough, Tim caught the attention of college coaches in the area.
Ken Knutson, the head baseball man at the University of Washington, visited and was confident in Lincecum’s abilities.
Tim’s debut year with Washington was a memorable one, as he became the first player to win both Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year.
Having turned down a chance to play in the Cleveland Browns’ Cape Cod League with the Harwich Mariners, he moved to the East Coast and subsequently joined the San Francisco Giants in 2007.
