UCL Injury Lingering for Texas Commit, Likely MLB Draft Pick | Monday 4:20 p.m.

Reports are circulating Monday afternoon that Texas commit Brody Bumila has alerted MLB teams of a UCL injury in his left elbow.

Bumila is a consensus top-40 prospect for the upcoming MLB Draft, which will air its first round on July 11.

The 6-foot-9 left handed pitcher already underwent a Tommy John procedure once in his high school career, but he has recovered to throw north of 100 mph with his fastball and become one of the most intriguing prospects in recent draft history.

Does this change anything for his odds to reach campus? We will see, likely no. An MLB team will take a chance on a lefty hitting triple digits early in this Draft even if it comes at the expense of a year down due to injury.
