Sarah Langs has established herself as one of the largest forces of positivity in all of sports. Langs, who currently contributes to MLB.com and was a part of MLB’s first-ever all-female MLB broadcast, has used her platform not only to champion baseball, but also to spread awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the disease the famed Yankees’ first baseman Lou Gehrig passed away from at 37 in 1941 and that Langs was diagnosed with in 2021.
During Wednesday night’s 2026 MLB Awards, MLB Network’s Lauren Shehadi took a moment to champion Langs, calling her “a one-woman analytics team.”

“Sarah makes all of us better,” Shehadi said before encouraging the attendees to stand and support Langs, to which everyone proudly obliged.
“You’re the best of us, Sarah Langs,” Shehadi continued. “Sarah grew up a Mets fan surrounded by Yankees, and she once told me something that I will never forget. She said, ‘What are we put on this earth for? There’s one thing. It’s to make everyone around us better.’ That’s you.”
Langs shared her appreciation of the moment on X after the show.
It’s wonderful to see Langs, who has been steadfast in her mission to improve the world, and has also constantly worked to help other women get into the baseball world, honored in a special way. Langs has brought immeasurable amounts of joy and inspiration to a lot of people, and is deserving of every ounce of recognition.
