Scout’s note
Fifty-two home runs and 50 stolen bases across 343 career games — that is a well-rounded everyday player, and Langford is 24. His WAR of 2.1 through 75 games this season is steady, not spectacular: a .778 OPS, 14 home runs. The last two weeks — .179 with a .589 OPS and 10 strikeouts in 12 games — are the slump that follows every young hitter. Out of Trenton, Florida, and a first-round pick in 2023, Langford debuted March 28, 2024.

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | Minimum | Arb 1 | Arb 2 | Arb 3 |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The scouting press, in their own words
Pretty sure this is also true: Lowrance's slot as a percentage of the team's pool (75.9%) is second only to Wyatt Langford in 2023 (80.6%) in the draft pool format.
Umpire favor
+1.0 net runs over 34 graded games — the zone was kind to him on balance.
