Brody Bumila, the 2025‑26 Gatorade Massachusetts Baseball Player of the Year, powered Bishop Feehan to a 10‑5 victory over Pope Francis in the MIAA Division 1 Elite Eight on Tuesday night.
On the mound, Bumila tossed four innings, surrendering just two runs on two hits while walking four and striking out seven. His efficiency kept the opposing offense at bay and set the tone for the team’s rally.
At the plate, he went 2‑for‑3, launching a home run, scoring twice and driving in two runs. The performance added to a season in which he is batting .426 with 12 extra‑base hits and 18 RBIs.
The Road Ahead
The win propels the St. Mary’s‑based squad into the Division 1 Final Four, where they will meet Xaverian on June 9 at Fraser Field in Lynn. The matchup promises a clash of two of the state’s most potent offenses.
Bumila, a projected first‑round pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, has committed to the University of Texas, where he will continue his development while remaining on the radar of professional scouts.
With a combined 421 ⅓ innings pitched this season and a strikeout rate that eclipses 90, Bumila’s workload reflects both durability and dominance. His ability to contribute at the plate only amplifies his value to the team’s championship aspirations.
