Updated May 19, 2026
Shea Langeliers, 28-year-old Athletics catcher, is having an exceptional 2026 season.

Through early May, he is batting .340/.397/.623 with 12 home runs, 25 RBIs, and 29 runs scored across 37 games. His 179 wRC+ ranks third in MLB behind only Ben Rice and Yordan Alvarez, one point ahead of Aaron Judge. He leads all catchers in home runs and is one of the best hitters in baseball.
