2K Games just announced that the NL Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giant's has been signed on as the face of 2Ks next installment of Major League Baseball 2K9.

Lincecum went 18-5 with 265 strikeouts and a 2.62 ERA. His performance is one of the few bright lights of the San Fran Giants especially after the whole Barry Bonds situation for the last few years. He won the Cy Young over Brandon Webb of the Zona D-backs who was the year's favorite.

Lincecum commented on his winning the CY Young and being given the opportunity to rep MLB 2K8;

“Winning the Cy Young Award is truly an amazing honor, and now having the opportunity to be on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K9 is another dream come true and an absolutely surreal experience,” said Tim Lincecum, MLB All-Star pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. “Whenever I’m hanging out at home or traveling on the road, you can find me playing video games, and I’m definitely the best gamer in the clubhouse by far. I’m incredibly stoked that 2K Sports picked me to represent Major League Baseball 2K9, and I look forward to lending my baseball knowledge to the development process.”
