Madison Bumgarner was born to Kevin, who works at a food distribution company, and Debbie Bumgarner, who was an accountant for PepsiCo. He was only four years old when he began playing baseball, and became a member of a youth baseball league. He went to South Caldwell High School in Hudson, North Carolina, where he played for the Spartans baseball team, and was also a member of Post 29’s American Legion Baseball team. As a junior, he set a 12-2 record, and 0.99 earned run average (ERA), and thanks to him, the team won the 4A State Championship in 2007, which earned him the Gatorade North Carolina Player of the Year award, as well as being named Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Upon matriculation, he committed to enroll at the University of North Carolina, however, Madison’s professional playing career began that year when he was selected as the 10th overall pick by the San Francisco Giants from the 2007 MLB Draft. However, he spent two years in the minor leagues before he made his MLB debut, and played four games in the 2009 season, reaching the ERA of 1.80 and striking out ten batters in ten innings. The next season he was sent again in the minor league, as he was quite out of shape partly because his sister passed away, and he wasn’t feeling like playing baseball at all. Nevertheless, he was called up to the first squad, and won the World Series with the Giants, and he and his team repeated their success in 2012 and 2014, which added a considerable amount to his net worth. Besides that, Madison was the World Series MVP in 2014, and won the Babe Ruth Award in the same year.
