Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance

Jake Bird has thrown 3,737 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2021 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, Spring Training and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Sinker (96mph) and Slider (85mph), also mixing in a Curve (82mph) and Cutter (92mph). He also rarely throws a Fourseam Fastball (95mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their sinker has heavy sinking action, is blazing fast and has surprisingly little armside run. Their slider sweeps across the zone and results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders. Their curve generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' curves, is much harder than usual, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has slight glove-side movement. Their cutter is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' cutters and has well above average velo. Their fourseam fastball (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) has heavy sinking action, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly above average velo.
