All-American, SBC Pitcher of the Year joins DeBarge as top-5 picks for Cajuns
LAFAYETTE – All-American pitcher LP Langevin became the second Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns player in as many days selected in the 2024 Major League Baseball Draft when he was a fourth-round (No. 105 overall) selection on Monday by the Kansas City Royals.
Â
The selection of Langevin, the 2024 Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Year, marked the second consecutive season a Louisiana player was picked by the Royals after Carson Roccaforte was a Competitive Balance-B choice in 2023.
Â
Rounds 3-10 are being held on Monday. The draft will conclude on Tuesday with Rounds 11-20 beginning at 1 p.m. The draft rounds on Monday and Tuesday may be viewed on MLB.com.
Â
The Quebec City, Quebec, native joined first-round selection Kyle DeBarge (No. 33 overall, Minnesota Twins) as the first Ragin' Cajuns duo to be drafted in the top five rounds in program history.
Â
Langevin, a first-team All-Sun Belt and All-Louisiana choice, posted a 6-1 record on the mound for the Ragin' Cajuns with a 3.73 ERA and seven saves. The right-hander finished as the SBC leader in strikeouts (106), fewest hits allowed (40) and fewest runs allowed (27).
Â
He was third nationally among DI pitchers in strikeouts per nine innings (15.22) and hits allowed per nine innings (5.74).
Â
Langevin was tied for third in saves among SBC pitchers, seventh in ERA and tied for ninth in wins. He recorded most strikeouts in a season by a Cajuns pitcher since Zach Osborne (112) in 2010.
