2025 Fantasy Outlook
Langeliers was the Athletics' bell cow catcher for the second straight season. His 137 games and 534 plate appearances were both career highs, while his 131 appearances behind the plate were second most in MLB. Fewer strikeouts and more plate appearances from hitting higher in the order fueled personal bests in homers, runs and RBI. He features above average, but not elite quality of contact, but even with the improvement, his strikeout rate is high. Despite poor defense, the Athletics are committed to Langeliers with no one in the pipeline to challenge him for playing time. His power will play anywhere, though Langeliers could benefit from leaving the Coliseum. Just 27 years old, he could continue to improve his strikeout rate, but is best considered a plus power, low average backstop hitting in the meat of a less potent lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Hot spring at plate continues
Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a home run in Friday's spring training win over Kansas City. He's hitting .316 (12-for-38) with two home runs this spring.
ANALYSIS
Langeliers is set to return as the starting catcher and could improve upon the 29 home runs and .738 OPS he posted last season with the move to a more hitter-friendly home park.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Cubs?
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.
