Brody Bumila is a 6’9”, 255-pound left-handed pitcher who plays at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Bumila is one of the top pitching prospects in this draft class. He’s also one of the top flamethrowers in the 2026 MLB Draft.

On Perfect Game, Bumila is the 21st-ranked prospect and the fifth-ranked left-handed pitcher in the Class of 2026. He’s also the #1-ranked prospect in Massachusetts. Bumila is signed to play college baseball at the University of Texas.

Bumila has really risen on draft boards during his senior season. He put together an incredible senior season and showcased his elite fastball. The southpaw is one of the hardest throwers in this draft class.

On the mound, Bumila possesses a three-pitch mix including his fastball, slider, and changeup. Bumila’s fastball sits 96-98 mph and was clocked at 101 mph. His best secondary pitch is his changeup, which works very well versus right-handed hitters.

Bumila’s slider leaves a lot to be desired. While he can throw it for strikes, he rarely used it because of how much he overwhelms hitters with his fastball. He can throw strikes consistently and will attack hitters on the inner half.

On MLB Pipeline, Rojas is the 19th-ranked draft prospect. On Baseball America, Bumila is a five-star recruit and the 22nd-ranked prospect in the 2026 MLB Draft. He’s also the 34th-ranked draft prospect.
