A generational two-sport high school athlete is taking Massachusetts \u2014 and the nation \u2014 by storm. Brody Bumila is setting records in basketball and baseball.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve somehow yet to hear his name, you will soon enough.
It\u2019ll likely be his talent on the diamond.<\/p>\n
The 6\u20199\u201d 245-pound lefty starter could be heading to Austin next year to pitch for the Texas Longhorns, the #2 team in the nation.<\/p>\n
The kid can pop 99 miles per hour, and last week in a scrimmage reached 100.9 mph.<\/p>\n
Or, he might do something else next year.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s had visits from about two dozen major league teams.<\/p>\n
“I believe I\u2019ll be an MLB pitcher one day. I definitely have the build for it. I have the work ethic for it. And all I have to do is just execute now, and I truly believe I can do that. There\u2019s a high chance I get drafted this year in the MLB draft too, so Texas is an option, but it might not be the top option right now,” Bumila said.<\/p>\n
But he leaped onto our radar not by the radar gun, but by jumping out of the gym.<\/p>\n
Brody averaged an otherworldly 40 points and 20 rebounds to lead #14 seed Bishop Feehan past the numbers 1, 2, and 3 teams in the state!<\/p>\n
He put the team on his back, a first-ever state title for the Shamrocks.<\/p>\n
“Super cool, super fun to be in that moment. Super fun all of last week to experience being a state champion,” Bumila said.<\/p>\n
“I knew he had the talent in practice. He dominated us every day. Being on the same team, it feels good, watching him compete and knowing what he can do on the court,” said his basketball co-captain Jake Webster, also a left fielder, who has been enjoying the ride.<\/p>\n
