Langford hammered a Hunter Strickland fastball 415 feet in the sixth inning for his 16th homer of the season.

• Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Launches 15th homer

  09/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Langford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels. The rookie wasted no time in getting the Rangers on the board, rocketing a Reid Detmers changeup over the wall in left field in the first inning. Langford struggled early in the season in his first look at big-league pitching, but over his last 30 games he's slashing .295/.378/.580 with eight of his 15 homers on the year. The 22-year-old will head into 2025 with sky-high expectations once again, but he may be better equipped to meet them the second time around.

  Langford went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Athletics. Langford stole a base for the second consecutive game and upped his season total to 18. The rookie outfielder, whose 543 plate appearances in 2024 is far beyond what he ever had in a collegiate season at Florida, is showing no signs that the major-league grind is wearing him down, and he's having his best month of the season. Langford owns a .310/.400/.598 slash line with six home runs, 17 RBI, six steals and 21 runs scored over 23 September games.
