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.

Extends hitting streak in loss
OFTexas Rangers
September 15, 2024
Langford went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Langford doubled in his first trip to the plate before drawing a walk and stealing second in the top of the fifth. The theft was his 15th on the campaign and his third this month, during which he's now batting .333 (17-for-51) with three homers, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored. Langford has also hit safely in each of his last five games, posting three extra-base knocks over that stretch.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Best AL rookie for June
OFTexas Rangers
July 3, 2024
Langford was named the American League Rookie of the Month for June on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old had an underwhelming first two months of the season with a .573 OPS through 34 games, though he also missed some time with a hamstring injury he attempted to play through. Langford got on track in June and totaled six doubles, three triples, three homers, six steals and 22 RBI with an .894 OPS in 26 contests. He also finished the month with a flourish, as he delivered the first cycle of the 2024 campaign in Baltimore on June 30.
