SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tim Lincecum strode to the mound inside a nearly empty Scottsdale Stadium, the only sounds coming from the birds and the cars on the streets outside.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner picked up a ball, started his motion and let it fly as radar guns rose behind the plate. A series of camera clicks followed, then a pop of the glove.

The radar guns went down, pencils furiously scribbled and Lincecum started all over again.

“It’s different, a lot like high school, trying to show your stuff off again,” Lincecum said.

A free agent on the mend from hip surgery, Lincecum threw 41 pitches Friday for about three dozen scouts representing nearly every major league club at the spring training home of the only team he’s ever played for, the San Francisco Giants.

The 31-year-old right-hander mixed up his pitches and hit most of his spots during his showcase, consistently reaching 88 mph to 91 mph on the scouts’ radar guns. He felt good after and now hopes to catch on with a big league team soon, preferably as a starter.

“I’m happy,” Lincecum said. “I was able to throw strikes with my pitches, stay within myself, commanded all of my pitches.”

One of baseball’s best pitchers in his prime, Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award in 2008 and 2009 and made four All-Star Game appearances.
