2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bucking the traditional prospect path, 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. Read Past Outlooks

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Langford fell to the Rangers at No. 4 overall in the 2023 draft, but he could have gone 1-1 in that draft or any other to a team focused on getting a quick-to-the-majors impact bat. After slaughtering pro pitching to the tune of a .360/.480/.677 slash line with 10 home runs and 12 steals in 44 games while climbing from rookie ball to Triple-A, he now has a case as the top prospect in the game and as the top prospect to target for 2024 fantasy production. In a couple years, those elite prospects two and three years younger like Jackson Holliday and Jackson Chourio may be on Langford's level of impact, but right now he looks like a man among boys at the top of prospect lists. He posted a 117-mph exit velocity at Florida and regularly logged exit velocities north of 100 mph in pro ball. While Langford won't end up in center field, especially given the Rangers' other options, he is a plus runner who puts his speed to use on the bases and he walked more than he struck out in the SEC and in his pro debut. Given that Langford may be the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year, the Rangers are incentivized to give him a full year of service time, as it could net them a Prospect Promotion Incentive draft pick at the end of the first round in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finishes 2024 strong
Langford was named the American League Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for September on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old earned also earned Rookie of the Month honors in June, but he delivered his best month of the season in September with eight homers, seven steals, 20 RBI, 25 runs and a .996 OPS in 26 games. Langford struggled to consistently produce at the plate outside of those two months, which resulted in a .253/.325/.415 slash line with 16 home runs and 19 stolen bases in 134 games on the campaign. Overall, it was a strong rookie showing for the outfielder, especially since he effectively skipped the Triple-A level before making Texas' Opening Day roster.
