Wyatt Langford’s Stock Continues Skyrocketing
1 month agoTexas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford belted his sixth home run of spring training in the second inning of Wednesday's 8-1 Cactus League win over the Cincinnati Reds, also adding an RBI single during the sixth frame. Continuing to burgeon his way up fantasy draft boards as one of the spring's fastest-rising players, Langford is hitting .388 (19-for-49) with six homers, 19 RBI, and a 1.242 OPS so far. Although he's currently a non-roster invitee, the 22-year-old 2023 No. 4 overall pick's head-turning play figures to leave the Rangers no choice but to include him on their Opening Day roster. With Corey Seager (groin) and Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) projected to begin on the injured list, Langford has a clear path to regular at-bats during 2024's early stages. RotoBaller has Texas' No. 2 prospect ranked 80th overall, which gives managers a chance to draft him because he'll be long gone before his 180 NFBC ADP at this point.
