Bonnell played baseball at Centennial High School. The Chicago Cubs drafted him in the 31st round out of high school in 2012, but Bonnell elected to go to college instead of turning pro. He pitched in the Rebels' rotation at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.[1] In 2014, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2] He was again selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball draft, this time in the 36th round by the Tampa Bay Rays. He struggled with injuries during the 2015 collegiate season and ended up signing with Tampa Bay.[3]

Bonnell reached the High-A level with the Charlotte Stone Crabs by 2017, when he was traded to the Seattle Mariners for an international signing slot.[4] The Mariners released Bonnell midway through the 2019 season, and he signed a new minor league deal with the Washington Nationals, pitching during the season in the Nationals' system for the High-A Potomac Nationals, the Class-AA Harrisburg Senators, and the Class-AAA Fresno Grizzlies.[5]

The Nationals invited Bonnell to 2020 major league spring training camp[5] before it was shut down due to COVID-19. He did not participate at the alternate training site during the shortened season. However, the Nationals invited him to major league spring training again in 2021.[6]

On April 20, 2022, Bonnell signed with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League.
