The catcher, struggling since being moved in the order, says he’s still feeling strong even though he’s caught the most innings in the majors this season
Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe goes to throw against the Oakland Athletics on Thursday, July 4, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. WASHINGTON — Long after many of his teammates had already eaten, showered and left the ballpark, Logan O’Hoppe was still grinding in the batting cage.“Not doing anything hasn’t gotten me anywhere,” O’Hoppe said before Saturday’s game. “We’ll see how it goes, but I feel better than yesterday.
“I’m just seeing him try to do too much,” Washington said Saturday. “The one thing I told him when I put him in the third hole is don’t change what you’ve been doing. It looks like he’s trying to do damage. And a kid like him doesn’t have to try to do damage. Just got to get his bat head on the ball. And I’ve been telling him that. Just put your bat head on the ball. Damage will happen.
O’Hoppe, who earlier this season said that his goal is to one day catch 150 games, also firmly said that fatigue is not an issue.Still, considering the workload he’s faced behind the plate, staying late for extra swings after he’d caught 10 innings on a humid August night was a choice that raised eyebrows.
