Angels catcher turns to advanced data as he attempts huge comeback in 2026

One of the most disappointing story lines of the Angels' 2025 season was the regression of catcher Logan O'Hoppe. Despite an early season power surge, the numbers at the end of the season made it clear that O'Hoppe had taken a step back both as a hitter at the plate and as a backstop behind it. His struggles were well-documented, and the young catcher was honest about his struggles throughout the season. And while the Angels have been wise to upgrade their organizational depth at catcher, O'Hoppe is doing everything he can to reclaim his title as the catcher of the present and future in Anaheim.
