In 2015, the Braves invited Feigl to spring training, where he competed for a spot on the opening day roster. [2] [5] 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. [6] [4] 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. [7] Eleven days later, Feigl underwent Tommy John surgery, performed by James Andrews, [8] 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.
On December 8, 2016, the Braves traded Feigl and Tyrell Jenkins to the Texas Rangers [1] for Luke Jackson.

[10] 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. [11] He went 2–0 with a 3.13 ERA in just 23 innings between Nashville and the AZL Rangers, due to non-disclosed injuries. [12]
On December 12, 2019, Feigl was selected by the San Diego Padres in the minor league phase of the 2019 Rule 5 draft. [13] Feigl did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [14] Feigl did not appear for a Padres affiliate in 2021 due to injury [15] and elected free agency on November 7, 2021, without having appeared in a game for the Padres organization. [16]
On March 17, 2022, Feigl signed with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. [1] Feigl made 9 appearances for Long Island in 2022, posting a 1.17 ERA with 8 strikeouts in 7+2⁄3 innings pitched. He became a free agent following the season.
On April 18, 2023, Feigl signed with the then-unnamed Frederick Atlantic League Team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. [17] 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. [18]

On October 5, 2023, Feigl signed with the Pericos de Puebla of the Mexican League. [19] However, on January 21, 2024, Feigl signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. [20] In 33 appearances for the Triple–A Indianapolis Indians, he compiled a 7–2 record and 3.83 ERA with 62 strikeouts over 51+2⁄3 innings pitched. On August 25, Feigl was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time. [21] He debuted the following day against the Chicago Cubs, allowing six runs on seven hits in 1+2⁄3 innings. Feigl was designated for assignment on August 27. [22] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Indianapolis on August 30. [23]
There is another Brady Feigl who played Minor League Baseball at the same time. The Brady Feigls, both pitchers, are considered doppelgängers and are noted for their shared red hair, bushy red beards, thick glasses, and identical height of 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m). [24] They were first mistaken for one another in 2015 by staff at the doctor's office where they both got Tommy John surgery performed by the same surgeon, James Andrews. [24] Neither had previously known any Feigls outside their own families. In 2019, the Brady Feigls shared their DNA test results on Inside Edition. Though both had 53 percent Germanic ancestry, they were not related. [25] [26] "We're still brothers in a way" said Brady Feigel. "And we'll always be Brady Feigl" added the other Brady Feigel. [27]
