Shea Langeliers Homers, Drives In Three Friday
5 months agoOakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead two-run home run in a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday. The home run was his 14th of the season, tied with Adley Rutschman for the most amongst all backstops, and his three RBI gave him 39 on the year. The former first-round draft pick is coming off a season in which he blasted 22 home runs on the back of a 13.3% Barrel%, and is currently on pace to blow past that number with his 17.1% (97th percentile) Barrel%. The 26-year-old doesn't hit for average as his current .207 BA is actually better than his BA from a season ago (.205). For what it's worth, Langeliers is batting .276 over his last eight games, which for him would be considered a hot stretch.
