Uncommitted Spotlight - '24 3B/RHP John Langen (West Seattle)

January 24, 2024
Dan Jurik
Scouting Director - Pacific Northwest

'24 3B/RHP John Langen (West Seattle)

6-foot-4, 215 lbs with an athletic trim and big frame. Has shown tools/aptitude to be a 2-way prospect with his combination of size and arm strength. Offensive flashes quality bat speed and ability to lift the ball to his pull-side with a leveraged swing and uphill finish. Defensive actions work at corner INF long-term. Does a solid job staying low and sinking into hips while being a taller INF prospect. On the mound, FB comes in from a lower slot and rides into the zone. Arm action stays tight with length out front. Gets occasional ASR when he works away from a LHH.  Has shaped a tight SL as best secondary pitch. Swing and miss potential. Arm action stays tight with length out front.
