Wyatt Langford hit in the Southeastern Conference. He hit in his pro debut last summer after Texas drafted him fourth overall.
The 22-year-old left fielder has continued raking this spring in Cactus League games, making his case to break camp on the Rangers’ Opening Day roster.
And yet, Langford has fewer than 50 games of pro experience—including about two weeks at Double-A and one at Triple-A—and plays for the reigning World Series champions who have a set outfield.
For these reasons, many view Langford’s odds of making the Rangers’ Opening Day roster as roughly 50/50.
In reality, the Prospect Promotion Incentive program pushes those odds closer to 80/20—and not necessarily for the obvious reason.
