06.26.18
5-foot-8, 168-pound athletic frame with wiry strength. Baird has a strong presence in the box, the left-handed hitting middle infielder made hard contact during batting practice flashing a gap to gap approach, and posted an 86 mph exit velo off the tee. He has a slightly narrow stance with the bat starting on his shoulder, he has a simple smooth load, a low and small gliding stride with his front foot, gets off his backside with aggression, remains balanced throughout the swing, and works slightly uphill with extension through the zone. He has the ability to provide some pop from the left-side at the top of a lineup, as he can handle the bat and drive the baseball. In the infield he has soft hands with a smooth funnel to his midline as he works in-line towards first base, he has quick feet, a ¾ arm action (77 mph) and showed both range and athleticism by making a nice diving play up the middle. Ran a 7.19 laser-timed 60.

5-foot-8, 168-pound, sturdy frame. A left-handed hitter that shows promise at the plate, Baird starts from a narrow stance and gets started with a short stride. Lower hand position creates natural lift, quick hands with fast bat speed through the zone and power to the pull side. Excellent extension through contact, barrel stay in the zone a long time and a high, loose finish. On the infield, Baird has active footwork as he attacks ground balls with rhythm and timing. Long, clean exchange as he gathers his feet to play through the ball. Does a nice job of staying on line with his throws with a long, high-¾ arm stroke at 81 mph across the diamond.
