From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brady Feigl is the name of two American baseball players born in the 1990s who share remarkable similarities. Not only do both men have the same first and last names, but they also look similar, and are the same height (6 ft 4 in (1.93 m)). Neither had met another person with their surname outside their families. Both play the position of pitcher, and have had Tommy John surgery performed by the same doctor. After meeting, the Feigls took DNA tests to see if they were related. They are not, but both have 53 percent Germanic ancestry.[1]

Brady Matthew Feigl (born December 27, 1990) is an American professional baseball left-handed relief pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.[2]

Feigl attended Old Mill High School in Millersville, Maryland. Feigl played college baseball at Mount St. Mary's University from 2009 to 2012.[3] He missed his junior year in 2011 due to a torn labrum.[4]

Atlanta Braves[edit]

A year after graduating college, Feigl signed with the Atlanta Braves as an undrafted free agent in October 2013 after he impressed a Braves scout at Mount St. Mary's Scout Day.[4][5] Feigl was signed that year as a free agent by Braves'[3] scout Gene Kerns.[6] He made his professional debut in 2014 with the Rome Braves and after pitching to a 3.50 ERA in 43+2⁄3 innings, was promoted to the Lynchburg Hillcats where he went 3–2 with a 2.05 ERA in 22 innings.

In 2015, the Braves invited Feigl to spring training, where he competed for a spot on the opening day roster.[4][7] Though he spent most of spring training in minor league camp, Feigl was viewed as having a good chance of making the team, due to the release of James Russell.[8][6] Feigl instead began the 2015 season with the Gwinnett Braves, where he injured his elbow in his Triple–A debut against the Durham Bulls on April 10.[9] Eleven days later, Feigl underwent Tommy John surgery, performed by James Andrews,[10] causing him to miss all of the 2015 season. He pitched in only six games in 2016, three with the GCL Braves and three with the Danville Braves.

Texas Rangers[edit]

On December 8, 2016, the Braves traded Feigl and Tyrell Jenkins to the Texas Rangers[3] for Luke Jackson.[11] In 2017, he began the season with the Down East Wood Ducks and was later promoted to the Frisco RoughRiders, posting a combined 4–1 record and 3.81 ERA in 59 innings pitched between both teams.[12] In 2018 Feigl split the season between Frisco and the Round Rock Express, posting a combined 6–1 record, 1.53 ERA, with 37 strikeouts in 58+2⁄3 innings pitched. Feigl received a non-roster invitation to 2019 major-league spring training and was assigned to the Nashville Sounds of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League for the 2019 season.[13] He went 2–0 with a 3.13 ERA in just 23 innings between Nashville and the AZL Rangers, due to non-disclosed injuries.[14]

San Diego Padres[edit]

On December 12, 2019, Feigl was selected by the San Diego Padres in the minor league phase of the 2019 Rule 5 draft.[15] Feigl did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[16] Feigl did not appear for a Padres affiliate in 2021 due to injury[17] and elected free agency on November 7, 2021, without having appeared in a game for the Padres organization.[18]

Long Island Ducks[edit]

On March 17, 2022, Feigl signed with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.[3] Feigl made 9 appearances for Long Island in 2022, posting a 1.17 ERA with 8 strikeouts in 7.2 innings pitched. He became a free agent following the season.

Frederick Atlantic League Team[edit]

On April 18, 2023, Feigl signed with the unnamed Frederick Atlantic League Team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.[19] In 16 appearances for Frederick, he registered a 6.28 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 14+1⁄3 innings of work. On June 10, Feigl was released by the team.[20]

Lexington Counter Clocks[edit]

On June 13, 2023, Feigl signed with the Lexington Counter Clocks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.[20] In 34 appearances for Lexington, he posted a 2.36 ERA with 43 strikeouts in 34+1⁄3 innings pitched.

Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]

On October 5, 2023, Feigl signed with the Pericos de Puebla of the Mexican League.[21] However, on January 21, 2024, Feigl signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.[22]

He graduated from Parkway Central High School in Chesterfield, Missouri, and played for the Ole Miss Rebels baseball team.[23][2][24] Like the other Brady Feigl, he had Tommy John surgery in 2015, also performed by James Andrews.[2]

Feigl was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 5th round, with the 143rd overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[25] He split his first professional season between the Low–A Vermont Lake Monsters and the Single–A Beloit Snappers.

Feigl began the 2021 season with the Double–A Midland RockHounds, posting a 7–7 record and 3.96 ERA with 106 strikeouts in 102+1⁄3 innings pitched. He was promoted to the Triple–A Las Vegas Aviators late in the year, and made 5 starts for the team, going 1–2 with an 8.55 ERA and 17 strikeouts across 20.0 innings of work.[29]

Feigl did not pitch in a game in 2022 after missing the season due to an undisclosed injury. After not making an appearance in 2023, he was released by the Athletics organization on June 14, 2023.[30]
