Logan O'Hoppe News
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe and outfielder Aaron Hicks will both start on the bench for Thursday's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. It's not surprise that O'Hoppe is out for the day game following a night game. Matt Thaiss is doing the catching and batting fifth, while Mickey Moniak is in right field and batting sixth against Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot. Neither Thaiss nor Moniak have faced Pepiot in their careers. O'Hoppe has been very hot to start the year, going 18-for-53 (.340) with two home runs and seven RBI in his first 16 games, while Hicks has been the opposite, going 7-for-44 (.159) with a homer and four RBI in his first 13 games with the Halos. Hicks has started just one of the team's last four games and is losing fantasy value quickly in AL-only leagues.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe, third baseman Anthony Rendon and first baseman Nolan Schanuel are all on the bench on Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. Matt Thaiss is catching and batting eighth, Miguel Sano is at third base and hitting fifth, and Brandon Drury is at first base and batting in the six-hole for the Halos. Luis Rengifo is also at the keystone and hitting leadoff on Wednesday. Rengifo will gain some DFS appeal in this one while hitting atop the order. The 27-year-old Venezuelan infielder has been the odd-man out on the Angels' infield so far early this year, but he's been good when active, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles, two RBI and two stolen bases in 23 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe hit his first home run of the year on Friday, a game-tying grand slam in the sixth inning of an eventual 8-6 loss to the Red Sox. O'Hoppe finished 2-for-4 with four RBI and a run scored. The 24-year-old is off to a hot start, going 9-for-20 (.450) with a double, a triple, a home run, six RBI, four runs scored, and a 3:4 BB:K. This is just what fantasy managers were hoping for when they drafted him for upside at a traditionally offensively-challenged position. Earlier this year, manager Ron Washington stated he wanted to get O'Hoppe 125-135 starts at catcher, but he could get even more if some days at DH were sprinkled in too. The youngster hit 14 home runs last season in just 51 games with a 15.6% Barrel%, so a big year could certainly be in store for him.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe was a name to keep in your back pocket to open the 2023 season. A power-hitting option at catcher, he had something to prove before being trusted, but had the potential to do so. A .283/.339/.547 slash line through the team's first 19 games was a great start. He was hurt during that 19th game, however, tearing the labrum in his left, non-throwing, shoulder. The 23-year-old would be out of action until Aug. 18. He didn't set the world on fire in August, but hit nine home runs in September, finishing the year with 14. O'Hoppe is ranked 201 with a 190 ADP heading into 2024. He ended with a .236/.296/.500 slash line in 51 games for the Halos in 2023. A projection with slightly higher average and on-base numbers but a lower slugging percentage seems like a good starting point for the backstop. His .264 ISO from 2023 would have placed him 10th in the league if he had enough at-bats to qualify. Steamer and FanGraphs project him for a .212 ISO in 2024, however. So while he may not push for the home run lead at catcher, it's feasible that the youngster pops somewhere between 20 and 25 if he plays a full season's worth of games. O'Hoppe is the 13th-ranked catcher by RotoBaller and has the potential to finish in the top 10, as there are seven catchers within 22 slots.
