Brody Bumila, a standout pitcher from Raynham, has been selected 89th overall by the Texas Rangers in the 2026 MLB Draft held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The southpaw, who has gained attention for his fastball exceeding 100 mph, ended his high school season with a record of 5-0 and 96 strikeouts in 44⅓ innings. However, Bumila is dealing with a UCL injury in his left arm that may require surgery, potentially sidelining him for over a year. Despite this, his talent convinced the Rangers to draft him. Bumila has committed to the University of Texas but could still opt to sign with Texas. His situation reflects broader trends in the Massachusetts sports scene, with multiple local athletes recently drafted in major leagues.
