Over the last 10 days since Greg Bird has returned the New York Yankees' lineup, he ranks 32nd in average exit velocity at 91.8 MPH. He also has a 35% hard-hit rate and 0% soft-hit rate since getting regular playing time.

Judging by these batted-ball numbers and the fact that Bird should be getting a lot of playing time until the end of the season, Bird could be in for a huge September. Bird will be in hitter-friendly parks in Baltimore and Texas against some less-than-stellar righties like Jeremy Hellickson, A.J. Griffin, and Andrew Cashner.

Bird could go on a lengthy hot streak soon.
