Langevin is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound righthander with some of the most intriguing fastball traits in the draft class. A Canadian native, Langevin spent two seasons with Wabash Valley (Ill.) JC before transferring to Louisiana-Lafayette for the 2024 season where he posted a 3.73 ERA over 62.2 innings in a multi-inning reliever role. Langevin sits in the 93-94 mph range and touches 96, but he has tremendous spin on the pitch as well as a devastating combination of both riding life and armside run that overwhelms hitters. In addition to that, he throws from a low attack angle and creates a flat plane for the pitch which makes it a lethal offering at the top of the zone—where he did an excellent job spotting the pitch. He generated a 46% miss rate on the fastball this spring which is an absurd whiff rate for a fastball and better than either his mid-80s slider or mid-80s changeup. Unsurprisingly, Langevin pitches off his fastball at a heavy clip—roughly 80% of the time this spring—and will need to improve his secondaries in the future to avoid being a one-pitch pony. Regardless of his future role or the quality of his secondaries, the outlier traits of his fastball should make him a target for most teams on the second day of the draft.
