Lone Star Ball • • sports
Key Points:
- The Texas Rangers selected Massachusetts prep pitcher Brody Bumila with the 89th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 MLB Draft.
- Bumila, a 6’9”, 255 lb. left-handed pitcher, has a fastball that has reached over 100 mph and delivers it with notable extension and a low release point, making him difficult to track.
- Despite strong control for a high school pitcher, Bumila needs to improve his command and secondary pitches like his slider and changeup.
- A two-sport athlete and former state championship basketball player, Bumila is praised for his athleticism and understanding of pitching mechanics, suggesting potential for development.
- After undergoing internal brace surgery last summer, Bumila returned but recently revealed new UCL damage; although committed to the University of Texas, he is expected to sign with the Rangers given his third-round selection.
