Uncommitted. On Sunday the lefty Bumila took the mound and threw 2 innings with 5 strikeouts. It was a healthy dose of fastballs in his outing as the fastball sat anywhere from 90-95 and topped 96 on occasion. With his changeup sitting right around 76. Very imposing frame on the mound at 6’8 220 that likes to attack hitters consistently. Also a loose arm action and low 3 ⁄ 4 arm angle slot that is very hard for hitters to deal with, especially from the left side. Very interesting name to keep on eye on as he continues to develop and get stronger.
