Alright, so the other day I was randomly thinking, “Hey, what ever happened to Tim Lincecum?” You know, “The Freak”? That dude was electric back in the day.

First thing I did, obviously, was fire up Google. Typed in “what is tim lincecum doing now?” Simple as that.
Immediately, I saw a bunch of articles and forum posts – nothing super recent, mostly stuff from like, the last few years. A lot of speculation, some mentions of comeback attempts that didn’t really pan out, sadly.
Then I decided to dive a little deeper. Went to Baseball Reference to check his stats, see when he officially stopped playing. Confirmed he hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2016. That’s wild, feels like just yesterday he was mowing guys down.
After that, I started poking around on social media – you know, Instagram, Twitter (or X, whatever it’s called now). Didn’t find much. He’s always been a pretty private guy. No official accounts that I could find, anyway. Saw a few fan pages, but nothing concrete.
Next, I tried searching for news articles specifically about his life after baseball. That’s where I started to find some interesting stuff. Read a couple of pieces talking about his personal life, mentioning some family tragedies he’s dealt with. Realized the guy’s been through a lot.

Finally, I ended up watching a couple of YouTube videos – old highlights, interviews, that kind of thing. It was cool to relive some of those moments, remember how dominant he was at his peak. Man, that delivery was something else!
- Googled his name.
- Checked Baseball Reference.
- Scoured social media.
- Looked for recent news articles.
- Watched some old highlights.
So, what’s Tim Lincecum doing now? Honestly, it’s still a bit of a mystery. Seems like he’s mostly staying out of the spotlight, focusing on his personal life. And you know what? After everything he’s been through, he deserves that peace and quiet.
Wrap Up
It wasn’t like I uncovered some huge secret or anything. More just a little nostalgic trip down memory lane, seeing what I could find out about a player I really enjoyed watching. Sometimes, the journey’s more interesting than the destination, right?
