He moves well in the outfield and plays through the ball with average but accurate throws. Offensively, he starts tall with a small leg kick. He has an easy, uphill swing with average bat speed that produces line drive contact. As a LHP, Bird works quickly and comes from the high ¾ arm slot. His fastball sits 69-71 mph. He also mixed in a 61 mph curveball.
Lean and athletic frame at 5 foot 5, 120 pounds with room for growth. Short arm action with accuracy and carry on throws. Balanced setup at the plate with leg kick to create rhythm with level bat path. As a LHP throws from the ¾ arm slot and stays in line with motion to home. Fastball sitting 70-71, curveball with depth and changeup with sink. Average arm speed and command on all pitches.
