Langford Eyes Redemption: Rangers Rookie's Next Game
Langford Eyes Redemption After Inconsistent Start
ARLINGTON, TX – Texas Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford is looking to regain his form after a mixed start to his Major League Baseball career. Langford went 0-for-4 in one game and 1-for-4 in another, leaving him seeking a breakthrough performance. His next opportunity comes Tuesday at 6:40 PM ET against the Cincinnati Reds and pitcher Carson Spiers, a game broadcast on FDSOH and RSN. Langford will aim to improve on his recent outings and build upon the promising numbers he posted last season.
In his rookie campaign, Langford demonstrated considerable potential, hitting .253 with 25 doubles, four triples, 16 home runs, and an impressive 51 walks. These statistics highlight his ability to get on base and contribute offensively. While his early MLB games have been less productive, his past performance suggests the potential for a significant turnaround.
This weekend, Langford faced a different challenge against the Boston Red Sox and pitcher Richard Fitts. That Sunday game, airing on RSN and NESN at 2:35 PM ET, provided another chance for Langford to showcase his skills. The Red Sox series provided several storylines, including the strong performance of their own rookie, Kristian Campbell, who went 6-for-14 with two doubles, a homer, and two walks. The Red Sox also saw Wilyer Abreu excel, hitting 7-for-10 with five walks, two doubles, two homers, and six RBIs. This offensive success from Abreu, however, contrasted sharply with the struggles of Rafael Devers, who set a new record by striking out 12 times in his first four games, going 0-for-16. The Red Sox’ struggles extended beyond Devers, with players not named Abreu and Campbell posting a meager .118/.192/.136 batting line. The team's struggles highlighted the inconsistency that can mark the early stages of a baseball season. Langford's performance this week will be key to his own narrative in the early stages of his MLB career.
