Wyatt Langford

Emerging as a top contender for the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, Wyatt Langford's rapid ascent through four minor league levels last year was impressive. He showcased his prowess in just 45 games and 200 at-bats with a .360/.480/.677 slash line, including 10 home runs, 36 runs, 30 RBIs, 12 steals, and 36 walks. Langford is poised to start as the designated hitter for the reigning World Series champions. Despite the expected adjustment to Major League pitching, Langford's offensive potential makes him a valuable asset for fantasy rosters this season.

Wyatt Langford powers Rangers to narrow victory

Wyatt Langford went 1-for-4 in the Rangers' 9-8 win over the Angels, highlighted by a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, a walk, and a strikeout.

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.
