A big righthander with a 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, Birdsong has been up to 95 mph with his fastball and could have more velocity coming in the future. He has flashed an above-average curveball and changeup and this spring with Eastern Illinois posted a 3.35 ERA in 45.2 innings out of the bullpen. He struck out 66 batters and walked 21, and had excellent peripherals in the Northwoods League this summer—striking out 31 and walking seven in just 17.1 innings.
