2026 Fantasy Outlook
After being a low-average, high-power threat across his first two full MLB campaigns, Langeliers found more consistency in 2025 with a .277/.325/.536 slash line in 123 games. He missed some time in June due to an oblique injury but still set career highs with 31 home runs and seven steals, though it's also worth noting that he has yet to play 140 games in a season across his first three full years in MLB. Langeliers cut his strikeout rate almost eight points to 19.7 percent and increased his opposite field hit rate by nearly six points to 21.4 percent, which helps to explain the improved results despite his hard-hit rate (44.6 percent) remaining in line with the two prior seasons. Playing half his games at the Athletics' temporary home of Sutter Health Park in Sacramento is certainly an advantage, but Langeliers actually fared better on the road (.912 OPS) than at home (.817 OPS). He also improved his Fielding Run Value from minus-13 to minus-2, which is particularly notable given the defensive importance of his position. Langeliers' improvements appear sustainable, and his power production with the new higher average sets him up to be one of the top fantasy catchers in the league in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $5.25 million contract with the Athletics in January of 2026.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
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.
