Wyatt Langford

Wyatt Langford entered the 2024 season as one of the most anticipated rookies, and his debut campaign was a rollercoaster ride. He finished on a high note, posting a .300 batting average in September while launching eight of his 16 home runs and collecting 20 RBI and 25 runs during the month. Langford appears to have navigated the typical challenges of a rookie season, potentially setting himself up to avoid the notorious "sophomore slump." Fantasy managers can reasonably expect a 20/20 season (he tallied 16 homers and 19 steals in 2024), with the potential for improved counting stats if the Texas lineup remains healthy. He's a reliable OF2/OF3 option with plenty of upside for fantasy rosters.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, featuring his 16th homer of the season, underscores Langford's growing power potential, though his .253 average and high strikeout rate continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, including power and speed (18 stolen bases this season), keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. However, his inconsistency at the plate could make him a risky play depending on the matchup.
