Tim Lincecum was ready for his showcase.
After months of buildup and delays, the two-time Cy Young winner finally took the mound for scouts in Scottsdale, Ariz. Friday, showing scouts an arsenal that he hopes will help him land a starting job.
The 31-year-old had his fastball topping out at 91 mph, while also displaying a variety of other pitches.

Earlier this week, Lincecum's father, Chris, told MLB Network's Jon Heyman that his son's curveball looked "as good as it's been in years."
Multiple teams were in attendance for Friday's showcase, which had been scheduled for February before Lincecum pushed it back multiple times.
