At Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Arizona, Wyatt Langford arrived at Spring Training emphasizing growth, both physically and mentally, as he prepares for his second full season with the Texas Rangers.

Langford described his offseason as productive and more structured compared to a year ago, when he was still adjusting to the demands of professional baseball.

After spending time at home and in Jacksonville, Florida, he also had the opportunity to support his wife, who plays softball at the University of North Florida.

The balance of rest, family time, and training helped him better understand what his body needs over the course of a long season.

One of the biggest changes in Langford’s offseason routine involved strength and conditioning.

He said he incorporated more rotational training, including medicine ball work and rotational lifts, to improve power and overall athletic performance.

The adjustments came after reflecting on his first professional offseason, when he admitted he was still learning how to prepare effectively.

Langford noted that developing a personalized routine is an evolving process. With a clearer plan in place this year, his primary goal is maintaining health and durability throughout the season while continuing to refine his on-field performance.

Another storyline to watch this spring is how the Rangers will align their outfield defensively. Langford said he and teammate Evan Carter are both comfortable playing multiple positions and are willing to adjust based on what best helps the team.

While Langford mentioned his arm strength may profile slightly better in left field, he emphasized that versatility and staying on the field are more important than locking into a specific role.

Offensively, Langford is focused on making incremental improvements after gaining experience against major league pitching.

He pointed to reducing strikeouts and raising his batting average as key objectives, while also maintaining his power production.

Langford believes his swing decisions are generally strong, but said refining his approach and preparation at the plate could lead to more consistent results.

With a full season of experience behind him and a clearer understanding of how to train and adjust, Langford enters 2026 aiming to take the next step in his development as an everyday contributor in the Rangers' lineup.
