Rangers rookie Wyatt Langford hits an inside
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Wyatt Langford’s first big league homer was a memorable sprint around the bases for the promising rookie.
Langford hit an inside-the-park homer for Texas on Sunday, helping the Rangers put together a fast start against the Cincinnati Reds.
Batting with Jonah Heim on first with two out in the first inning, Langford drove a 3-2 fastball from left-hander Andrew Abbott toward the gap in right-center.
The ball hit about halfway up the wall at the 374-foot mark, which briefly angles out at 45 degrees. It bounced past right fielder Jake Fraley toward the right field corner.
The 22-year-old Langford took off after seeing the ball get past Fraley. As he sped toward third base, third base coach Tony Beasley vigorously waved him home. He scored without a throw, giving the Rangers a 4-0 lead.
Langford was selected by Texas with the No. 4 pick in last year’s draft out of the University of Florida. He broke camp with the Rangers after hitting .365 with six homers in 21 games during spring training.
