Eric Joseph Langill (born April 9, 1979) is a bullpen catcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB).

[1] Langill, who was always a catcher, played baseball in his youth, ending up on the same junior team as Russell Martin, who was at the time the third baseman.

After beginning school at Des Moines Area Community College, Langill now found more opportunities to play baseball instead of hockey.

Considered by scouts a career minor-leaguer, Langill, aside from acting as the backup catcher for the Las Vegas 51s, served largely as a mentor to Edwin Bellorín.

[3] Langill had attempted to escape the scene of the collision on foot but was unable to get out of the car, a white Honda Accord, which had flipped upside-down.

Langill initially told police that the incident had happened when he was cut off by another car while on the way back home from the team bowling event, which according to Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson occurred approximately three hours previously.
