Player Outlook
Bucking the traditional prospect path, Wyatt Langford made the Rangers' Opening Day roster in spring training 2024 and debuted in the big leagues after just 44 games in the minors. The fourth overall pick in 2023, Langford struggled out of the gates last season, posting a .588 OPS through his first 31 MLB games before a right hamstring strain put him on the injured list. He would bat .300 or higher in two of the final fourth months while adding eight homers in September to bring him up to a 110 wRC+ for the season. On the strength of 98th percentile sprint speed, Langford stole 19 bases in 22 attempts. While it wasn't the Rookie of the Year campaign many expected, he showcased a highly advanced plate approach for a 22-year-old (20.6 K%, 9.2 BB%). His strong finish should renew excitement heading into 2025. A step forward could easily vault Langford into the top 15 among fantasy outfielders.

  • Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Makes spring debut

    Langford started in left field, batted third, and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's spring game against the Royals. Langford made his Cactus League debut after dealing with an oblique strain that first cropped up two weeks ago. He had been scheduled to play Friday, but that game was canceled due to weather. He lined a single that left the bat at 97.6 mph in first plate appearance and later grounded out at an exit velocity of 101.4 mph. "I felt pretty good baseball-wise, but physically, I felt really good," Langford, who also played five innings in left field, told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. If there are no setbacks, Langford should have enough time to build up plate appearances before the start of the regular season.
