Rangers land towering lefty Bumila in Round 3 amid UCL concerns
Texas Rangers drafted Massachusetts prep left-hander Brody Bumila with the 89th overall pick (Round 3) of the 2026 MLB Draft. Bumila is a 6'9", 255-pound lefty from Bishop Feehan HS who has flashed a 100 mph fastball with extension, but carries UCL damage and recently had internal brace surgery; he needs to refine command and improve slider and changeup. Previously viewed as a likely first-round talent before the injury, Bumila is committed to Texas but is expected to sign if drafted in Round 3, and his athleticism and pitching aptitude give him upside if health and development cooperate.
