While J.T. Realmuto will inevitably be a candidate to play in his fourth consecutive All-Star Game next month, the Philadelphia Phillies seemingly have another catcher in the organization to be excited about in Logan O’Hoppe.
In the month of May alone, O’Hoppe homered six times, drove in 12 runs and posted a 1.004 OPS. If you’ve opened up Twitter at any point over the last month, it’s been hard not to see a tweet from Double-A Reading, MLB Pipeline or Mitch Rupert talking about the latest home run from the 22-year-old.
And like you, that’s how Phillies interim manager Rob Thomson has kept up with what’s turning into a special season for the Fightin Phils’ catcher.
