It’s hard to imagine that there are many stories in college baseball that are better than the season that Florida left fielder Wyatt Langford is having.
After receiving just four at bats as a freshman backup catcher and third baseman last season, Langford leads the Gators with a .368 batting average, 21 home runs and 55 RBI while starting all 53 games so far this spring. He’s also shown some defensive prowess at a position that he had never played prior to this season, as he’s yet to commit an error in 87 chances.
While he’s mashed the cover off of the ball all season long, he’s gotten particularly hot since coach Kevin O’Sullivan moved him into the leadoff spot 13 games ago.
