    During a rain delay last summer, Langley helped pass the time by wowing his Team USA teammates when he threw balls over the left-field fence from the right-field foul line. His arm strength is remarkable, and this spring he threw out 22 of 23 basestealers thanks to sub-2.0-second pop times and clean exchanges from glove to throwing hand. Despite his strength, his 5-foot-8, 170-pound frame hinders his stock and Langley doesn't figure to get much taller. His catch-and-throw skills are among the best in the draft class, although he has some fine-tuning to do, especially with his receiving. Offensively, Langley has some pop, although his power is primarily gap-to-gap. His swing can get long. He has good bat control and a feel for situational hitting. His confidence borders on cockiness, though scouts like the flair he shows with snap throws and impressive performances on big stages. Others wonder how he'll mesh with a professional pitching staff, however, and suggest he'll need to tone down his attitude. He has committed to Georgia Tech, and is considered signable in the first five rounds.
