2026 MLB Draft Profile: Brody Bumila

Leading up to the 2026 MLB Draft, Fish On First brings you a series of scouting reports on top prospects in this draft class who could realistically wind up in Miami.

Overview

Position: LHP

Height: 6’9″

Weight: 255 pounds

School: Bishop Feehan HS (MA)

Commitment: Texas

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 the 2026 MLB Draft. He’s also one of the top flamethrowers this class.

Bumila has really risen on draft boards during his senior season while earning the MaxPreps Male National Athlete of the Year award.

The southpaw possesses a three-pitch mix including his elite fastball, slider, and changeup.

Bumila’s fastball sits 96-98 mph and has been clocked at 101 mph. His best secondary pitch is his changeup, which works very well versus right-handed hitters. His slider leaves a lot to be desired. While he can throw it for strikes, he has rarely used it because of how much he was able to overwhelm high school hitters with his fastball.

Bumila can throw strikes consistently and will attack hitters on the inner half.

He is signed to play college baseball at the University of Texas.

Strengths

• Elite fastball
• Elite extension on his pitches
• Good feel for his changeup
• Projectable body frame
• Strike-thrower
• Frontline starter upside

Weaknesses

• Needs to improve slider
• Injury risk

Pro Comparison: Kruz Schoolcraft

Projection: Top 25 pick

Bottom Line

Brody Bumila has a ton of talent and potential. On Perfect Game, Bumila is the 21st-ranked prospect and the fifth-ranked left-handed pitcher in the Class of 2026. He’s also their No. 1 prospect in Massachusetts. On MLB Pipeline, he is the 19th-ranked draft prospect. On Baseball America, Bumila is a five-star recruit and the 22nd-ranked draft prospect.

The Marlins will have the 14th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and should be able to grab one of the top prospects in this draft class. Given the organization's recent track record of working with young pitchers to develop breaking balls, Bumila would be a nice fit.
