Oakland A's catcher Shea Langeliers has always been great defensively behind the plate. Going back to his promotion to the big leagues in 2022, Langeliers has had high pop times and caught runners stealing at an elite rate. The area of concern was always his bat and if he would hit well enough to take on a starting catcher role.
However once he was promoted to the A's, he struggled at the plate. Regression is expected, going from a hitter-friendly league in the PCL and facing Triple-A talent to the major leagues can be quite shocking. Yet in his second season, where he got 448 at-bats, he was still failing to tap into the bat he displayed in 2022 at Triple-A.
The real improvement for Langeliers has been the power. He is currently sitting at a .464 slugging percentage which is the best of his career and 32nd best in all of major league baseball. He has hit 22 home runs this season, which is tied for his career high, and he is on pace to have more extra base hits this year than he did last season .
Shea Langeliers reached base in 10 consecutive plate appearances with his walk in the second inning tonight.
