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
Connects for three-run shot in loss
Langeliers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Langeliers erased a 4-3 deficit in the ninth inning via a two-out, 357-foot shot off Collin Snider with Max Schuemann and JJ Bleday aboard to give the Athletics a temporary 6-4 lead. It was the slugging backstop's first homer in eight games and put him at 29 for the season, while also pushing his September RBI total to an impressive 16 over 23 contests. It's been a season of across-the-board improvement for Langeliers at the plate, and all three components of his .224/.288/.450 slash line heading into the final day of the regular season qualify as career bests.

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?
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.
