Drives home two Saturday Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run single and a double in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

Impact Langeliers had the only multi-hit effort of the night for Oakland and drove in the final two runs of the game with his eighth-inning single.

Despite the struggles, Langeliers' standing as the everyday catcher doesn't appear to be in any jeopardy, especially with veteran Manny Pina (wrist) still sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Impact Langeliers was a triple away from hitting the cycle, as the A's got blown out through no fault of his own.

Solid at plate in spring Langeliers is hitting .261 (6-for-23) with a double, a home run, three RBI, a walk, a hit by pitch and five runs across nine Cactus League games.

Impact Langeliers, the Athletics' projected Opening Day catcher after the trade of Sean Murphy to Atlanta in December, had a quick start to his spring but has gone 0-for-8 over his last three exhibitions. The 25-year-old posted just a .218 average and middling .691 OPS across his first 153 big-league plate appearances in 2022, and the hope is the exposure he got to major-league arms and his added reps this spring will help him significantly pare down the 34.6 percent strikeout rate he generated in that sample. Results are slightly encouraging on that front thus far in Cactus League play, as Langeliers has struck out seven times in 26 spring training PAs.

A's catcher Langeliers wants to seize opportunity after Murphy trade Shea Langeliers struggled at times after Oakland Athletics’ call-up last year, but he may have found a groove late in 2022.
