A name to remember for the 2026 MLB Draft:
6-foot-8 LHP Brody Bumila with
a fastball up to 96 mph at 16. Bishop Feehan HS
in Massachusetts
link –
2023 High School All State Select Championship (2026-2027
Grads)
Brody Bumila is a 2026 LHP with a 6-6 195 lb. frame from Raynham, MA who attends Bishop Feehan HS. Extra large frame with broad shoulders, long limbs, and a ton of upside with physical projection. Primary left-handed pitcher who only pitched during the event. Leg lift above the belt with drop and drive mechanics.
Fires from a low three-quarters slot and that combined
with pre release movement adds a ton of deception. Good mover for size with
lots of arm side run on the fastball. Breaking ball has sweeping slurve like action.
Changeup showed good arm side fading action.

Brody Bumila was playing JV high school baseball as recently as
May, and he is now Perfect Game's top Massachusetts prospect in the Class of
2026.
The 6-foot-6, 195-pound left-handed pitcher added 14 pounds
in six weeks at the end of the summer and has since seen his maximum fastball
velocity tick into the upper-80s at national showcase events. While he can not
be formally recruited until Aug. 1 by NCAA rule, he recently attended a
prospect camp at Wake Forest University and is now on the radar of multiple D1
Power Five coaches.
It's a rapid rise for Bumila, who played junior varsity for
90 percent of the spring season with Bishop Feehan (Mass.) before earning a
call-up to varsity at the end of the regular season. Bumila struggled with his
command at the start of the summer with the GBG Northeast Hawks while
showcasing a fastball that sat between 83 and 85 mph.
A little too early for this one. Hope the coaches don't overuse him.
