Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers delivered a spectacular performance during Saturday's spring training contest, connecting for three home runs in three at-bats against Kansas City. The 28-year-old slugger was pulled after five innings, having already given his team a commanding 5-0 advantage.
MESA, Ariz. — Oakland Athletics backstop Shea Langeliers put on a power display during Saturday’s spring training contest, launching three home runs in as many trips to the plate against Kansas City.
The catcher was removed from the game following the fifth inning, but not before connecting for three solo blasts that helped Oakland build a commanding 5-0 advantage. Kansas City starter Ryan Bergert surrendered all three long balls to Langeliers.
The 28-year-old slugger started his impressive afternoon by sending a ball over the left field wall in the opening frame, followed by a center field shot in the third inning, and capped off his performance with another drive to center field during the fourth inning.
During the previous season, Langeliers established a personal best with 31 home runs across 123 contests for Oakland. The catcher has accomplished the three-homer feat twice during regular season play — once on April 9, 2024, in a game at Texas, and again on Aug. 5, 2025, during a contest at Washington.
