Baird is a long-limbed pitcher with a projectable 6-foot-4 frame and a fastball that has been up to 94 mph with good armside run and the projection for more velocity to come, though he will have to tighten his fastball command. Baird at times has shown high confidence in his changeup, a pitch that has good separation off his fastball at 78-82 mph and late dive underneath bats when it’s at its best. More recently he has leaned more on his slider, an upper-70s to low-80s pitch that he spins at 2,300-2,500 rpm.
