View Draft Report
Langworthy could pitch and play in the outfield if he makes it to Florida--he did both to help Williston (Fla.) High to back-to-back state titles in 2014 and 2015. But for pro scouts, he's a hitter all the way. Langworthy has some whip to his bat with a pretty lefthanded swing that is notable for his balance and ability to line doubles to the gaps. He's most likely a corner outfielder in pro ball. When you consider his lack of size (5-foot-11, 190 pounds) and modest power, it makes for a difficult profile.

A three-year starter for Florida, Langworthy is a 5-foot-10, 195-pound outfielder who profiles more as a left fielder due to his below-average speed and below-average arm. With a smooth, lefthanded swing, Langworthy has always had a solid approach at the plate and posted good on-base percentages with 103 walks compared to 123 strikeouts through his first 178 games with Florida. Langworthy has a flat bat path that can get long at times, and scouts wonder if he shows enough power to profile as a corner outfielder, but he did hit seven home runs in 26 games in the Cape Cod League last summer. A grinder who has good on-field instincts despite a lack of speed, Langworthy will have to play above his tools to carve out a role greater than that of a future fourth outfielder. -
