Bumila is a gigantic lefty at 6-foot-8, 220 pounds with an elite fastball for his age, already pitching in the low-to-mid 90s, reaching 96 mph. Rather than throwing with steep downhill plane, Bumila sinks into his legs in his delivery and throws from a low three-quarters slot, creating significant armside run from a low release height relative to his height. Bumila throws a slider and a changeup, with some seeing more upside in his changeup. It has good separation off his fastball and tailing action, a potential above-average pitch that he can throw for swing-and-miss against both righties and lefties. Typical of nearly every extra tall pitcher his age, Bumila is still learning to coordinate his long arms and legs in his delivery to throw more consistent strikes, with significant upside if everything clicks.
