Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers delivered an extraordinary performance Saturday, homering in all three of his plate appearances during a spring training game against the Kansas City Royals. The 28-year-old slugger launched solo shots off Royals starter Ryan Bergert in the first, third, and fourth innings, helping the A's build a 5-0 lead before he was subbed out after five innings.

All three home runs came on first-pitch swings, with Langeliers sending drives to left field, center field, and back to center. The power display showcased the consistency that made him a standout last season, when he set a career high with 31 home runs in 123 games for Oakland. His ability to make hard contact early in counts has become a defining trait of his offensive approach.

This three-homer game marks Langeliers' third such performance in professional baseball, having previously accomplished the feat twice during the regular season—on April 9, 2024, at Texas and August 5, 2025, at Washington. While spring training stats don't always translate to the regular season, this dominant showing reinforces Langeliers' status as one of Oakland's most dangerous hitters heading into 2026.
