| 4/10/25 | SF Giants' Hayden Birdsong takes bullpen role into first game at Yankee Stadium. With his first trip to New York as a big league pitcher imminent, Hayden Birdsong is looking forward to embracing the vibe that is Yankee Stadium. A native of Mattoon, Illinois, Birdsong was partial to the Chicago Cubs. “I never grew up a Yankees fan,” Birdsong said before the Giants embarked on a 10-game trip which begins Friday night (4:05 p.m.) in the Bronx against the defending A.L. champions. “He's a pretty laid back kid,” Giants pitching coach JP Martinez said.

| 3/30/25 | SF Giants' Birdsong learned his signature pitch on TikTok — and it could make him 'elite'. It was sometime last year during spring training when Hayden Birdsong was engaging in a Gen Z pastime: scrolling TikTok before bed.

Added manager Bob Melvin: “We feel there's a very high ceiling for Birdsong.” Source: https://www.montereyherald.com/2025/03/30/sf-giant... |

| 3/16/25 | Why Birdsong could have edge for SF Giants' final rotation spot. The Giants have yet to decide whether Hayden Birdsong or Kyle Harrison or Landen Roupp will be their fifth starter. Birdsong turned in his best outing of the spring on Sunday against the A's at Scottsdale Stadium, tossing five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and no walks on 60 pitches. It was the best Harrison has looked, but as camp's final days approach, the left-hander might be on the outside looking in. Source: https://www.montereyherald.com/2025/03/16/why-bird... |

The competition for the fifth spot in the rotation may be headlined by Hayden Birdsong and Kyle Harrison, both of whom will pitch on Friday, but Roupp is ensuring he remains in the battle.

| 2/18/25 | 'It's an honor': How SF Giants' Verlander embracing mentorship role with new team. As Hayden Birdsong threw one of his first bullpens of camp, a voice from behind peppered him with constructive criticism. The words did not originate from pitching coach J.P. Martinez, who stood right behind Birdsong. The sage advice derived from Justin Verlander, the future Hall of Famer who has spent spring training doubling as a mentor. “He's a Hall of Famer, obviously,” Birdsong said of Verlander, who signed a one-year, $17 million deal.
