Jake Bird has thrown 4,137 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (94mph) and Slider (84mph), also mixing in a Curve (80mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (93mph) and Fourseam Fastball (93mph).
In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has well above average velo, has less armside run than typical and results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' sinkers. Their slider sweeps across the zone, generates a high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, has less than expected depth and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve has sweeping glove-side movement, has a sharp downward bite and is slightly harder than usual. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 9 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is blazing fast, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters and has little cutting action. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 7 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has heavy sinking action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has essentially average velo.
