MLB Draft: Tracking locals selected on Day 2

Will any more locals come off the board in the 2026 MLB Draft?

On Saturday, Vermont Academy’s Kaiden McCarthy became the first player out of New England selected when the Braves took him at No. 48 in the second round. The hard-throwing righthander became the highest high school draft pick in Vermont history, surpassing Owen Kellington, whom the Pittsburgh Pirates selected with the 102nd pick in 2021. McCarthy will forgo his commitment to the University of Tennessee and sign on to pitch in Atlanta’s system.

Bishop Feehan phenom Brody Bumila came off the board at No. 89 when the Rangers took him despite concerns about an elbow injury. Bumila said he will sign — for “first-round money” — and forgo his commitment to pitch at the University of Texas, and will also undergo surgery with the Rangers’ team doctor.

“I feel great,” he said, speaking by phone moments after he was chosen. “All the adversity, everything, it all happens for a reason. I’m super excited to be in this organization that wants me, and super excited to play professional baseball.”
