Shea Langeliers struggled at times after Oakland Athletics’ call-up last year, but he may have found a groove late in 2022.
WASHINGTON, DC – SEPTEMBER 01: Shea Langeliers #23 of the Oakland Athletics celebrates with teammates after hitting a home run in the fifth inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on September 01, 2022 in Washington, DC. MESA, Ariz. — The A’s have produced a long line of quality catchers over the years. Terry Steinbach, Ramon Hernandez, Kurt Suzuki, Stephen Vogt and, most recently, Sean Murphy, became fan favorites during their tenures.
As a late-season call-up last season, Langeliers got a taste of the fast-paced environment of the big leagues. He was quickly humbled by it. A’s manager Mark Kotsay echoed similar thoughts about Langeliers on Friday. But he also touted the development that occurred during his time in the big leagues last year that led to better results toward the end of the season. Langeliers had 11 hits over the final 12 games of the year, included a two-homer game in Seattle. His OPS from mid-August to the end of the season was a sterling .691.
With a slew of new faces joining the A’s pitching staff, along with a large group of returnees, Langeliers has prioritized familiarizing himself with each pitcher he will catch early in camp. He caught Shintaro Fujinami’s first bullpen session on Thursday, lauding the newcomer’s “nasty” pitch mix.
