With that in mind, here’s a few notes regarding pitchers with ties to the Giants.
Tim Lincecum threw his showcase on Thursday, and according to many reports, he sat between 90 and 93 miles per hour with his fastball velocity. That’s a couple ticks up from the 87.7 he averaged with the Los Angeles Angels in his last big league action in 2016, but still quite a few ticks shy of the 93 to 94 he averaged during his prime.
Lincecum didn’t pitch for an organization in 2017 and hasn’t been an above-average big league pitcher since 2011, but some team is going to take a chance on a guy who is a two-time Cy Young award winner and who was, at one point, the most dominating pitcher in the game.
