By May 2007, Lincecum had made his MLB debut and quickly turned heads with his prowess on the mound. Clocking fastballs at an electrifying 98.8 mph, he complemented his speed with a devastating changeup and a curveball that struck fear into the hearts of hitters. By 2008, Lincecum transformed into a full-fledged star, accumulating a 2.62 ERA and leading the league with 265 strikeouts, claiming his first Cy Young award at just 24 years old.
