26-Year-Old CatcherC
Oakland Athletics
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Langeliers opened the season as the Athletics primary catcher. He gathered a taste of the majors down the stretch in 2022 but struggled making contact. In his first full season, Langeliers lowered his strikeout rate to a still elevated 29.2 percent while hitting the ball with more authority. However, as a fly ball hitter in the cavernous Coliseum, Langeliers' BABIP was well below average, but his 22 homers was fifth most among catcher-eligible hitters and his 63 RBI tied for 12th highest. Langeliers is still a work in progress behind the plate as his -13 defensive runs saved was the third worst in the league and he graded as one of the poorest pitch framers. Langeliers' 31 percent success rate catching base stealers was one of the best marks in the league. Langeliers will share catching duties with Tyler Soderstrom, with Langeliers likely to get the heavier workload. The volume will generate mixed league worthy counting stats, but Langeliers is a batting average liability. Read Past Outlooks

Launches pinch-hit homer
COakland Athletics
September 16, 2024
Langeliers entered Sunday's loss to the White Sox in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and hit a solo home run in his only at-bat.
ANALYSIS
Langeliers had ceded catching duties to Kyle McCann to open the day, yet he was able to come through off the bench with his 26th homer of the season. The round tripper got the Athletics to within one run, but the rally stagnated at that point. Langeliers snapped a 10-game extra-base-hit drought with the timely blast, as well as a brief 0-for-13 skid that had encompassed his last three games.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Langeliers was acquired by Oakland from Atlanta in March 2022 and made his MLB debut in August, and he had a .218/.261/.430 slash line with six home runs in 40 games. The 25-year-old split his playing time between catcher and designated hitter, but he won't be serving as the primary backstop as long as Sean Murphy remains with the A's. Langeliers showcased his power in his first taste of the big leagues, but he also had a problematic 34.6 percent strikeout rate. He'll need to improve in order to retain his spot in Oakland's lineup next season, but Langeliers should at least enter spring training with an inside track to a regular role after a solid showing last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Cubs?
COakland Athletics
August 14, 2024
Langeliers could be an offseason trade target for the Cubs, reports Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Chicago was unable to land a catching upgrade at the summer deadline, and that will be a priority for GM Jed Hoyer during the offseason. Langeliers is hitting just. 226 through 100 games this season, but he's clubbed 22 homers and has a .754 OPS. The 26-year-old is a slightly below-average defender, but he's in only his third MLB season and has plenty of upside beyond his current form. Langeliers won't have his first year of arbitration eligibility until 2026, so the Athletics likely won't be eager to trade a cost-controlled backstop.
