Feigl was not drafted after spending four years at Mount St. Mary's, in part because he lost his junior year due to surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. He proceeded to work as a high school baseball coach in Maryland and gave private pitching lessons before signing with the Braves after throwing on a scout day in the fall of 2013 at his alma mater. Feigl displayed an increase in arm strength, resulting in a low-90s fastball that touched 94 mph along with a decent feel for a changeup and breaking ball. He pitched well enough the following spring to open 2014 at low Class A Rome and receive a promotion to the high Class A Carolina League during the season. That showing earned him an invitation to big league camp in 2015, when he nearly made the major league roster prior to making one relief appearance at Triple-A Gwinnett and having Tommy John surgery in late April. In addition to his solid-average, threepitch arsenal, Feigl pounds the lower third of the zone and does a good job of working both sides of the plate. He is tough on lefthanded batters and could become a situational reliever in the big leagues. The Braves believe he should return by the second half of 2016.
