The Rangers’ rookie outfielder had himself a banner performance on Sunday Night Baseball to put a bow on a scalding hot month of June. Plus, an AL Rookie of the Year race check-in.
, we highlighted five National League hitters who are getting hot at the dish. Up next, it’s time to celebrate a banner month for Texas Ranger rookie Wyatt Langford, and update our American League Rookie of the Year leaderboard.
Langford got off to a slow start out of the gates, slashing .224/.295/.293 through his first 31 games before landing on the injured list with a strained hamstring. That cost him three weeks’ worth of games, and perhaps provided him with a much-needed reset opportunity to catch his breath following a whirlwind path to the major leagues.
The Rangers face myriad problems in their title defense. Injuries have severely hampered some of the team’s most important players, and Sunday’s win over Baltimore snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak. Fellow rookie outfielder Evan Carter, who had a .917 OPS during the team’s postseason run last October, has scuffled through some growing pains and is currently on the IL with a lower back injury.
