Greg Bird, 1B, New York Yankees

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.
