Actually Bumrah is the greatest bowler of this era and he is great because he's the Yorker king.
An Yorker is a ball that lands under the bat into the legs and becomes almost unplayable for the batter.
However, castling the stumps can be done even without a Yorker.

Nice. I always wondered why they don't just throw right at the batter but I guess they do in a lot of cases.

That's one difference between baseball and cricket. In baseball the ball is thrown but in Cricket a bowler has to roll his hand at least 180° angle. The bowl should reach to the batter anyhow but it shouldn't be above waist height without first hitting the ground. If the ball does, that's called a No ball and the batting team is awarded 1 extra run and 1 extra ball.
