Wyatt Langford, the Texas Rangers 2023 first rounder, is being promoted to AA Frisco, per the beats.
Langford, a 21 year old outfielder, went to high-A Hickory after three games in the Arizona Complex League, and has mashed. Langford went 2 for 4 with a double and a homer today for Hickory, giving him a .333/.453/.644 slash line in 24 games for Hickory.
With 17 year old Sebastian Walcott having just been promoted to Hickory, I had assumed that the Rangers would keep Langford there as well for the playoffs. Instead, Langford is getting the challenge of facing Texas League pitchers for the final month.
