Logan O'Hoppe is a catcher fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target O'Hoppe as an undervalued catcher in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 178
CURRENT ADP: ~205
ANALYSIS: It can be argued that Logan O'Hoppe already broke out last September, but since his ADP is nearly 200 overall, it appears that much of the sports world was busy with football instead of watching the Angels cruise to fourth place in the AL West. O'Hoppe crushed it in the season’s final month as he blasted nine homers and slugged .500 to firmly grab hold of the starting catcher job heading into 2024.
As great as his September numbers were, O’Hoppe still only batted .236 with a .296 OBP last season. Of course, he only accrued 199 PA thanks to midseason shoulder surgery. That injury, plus his pedestrian full-season stats, are no doubt why O'Hoppe is falling in drafts this season. We’ve all heard the adage that we shouldn’t put too much weight on September stats, but in O'Hoppe’s case, it appears that his hot finish wasn’t a fluke.
The 24-year-old former prospect has a long track record of success in the minors as he clubbed 26 homers in his last full minor league season in 2022. He also posted elite batted-ball metrics to fully support his strong finish. O'Hoppe led the league in barrels-per-PA among catchers with at least 100 batted-ball events. He also posted great exit velocities as his 90.5 mph average exit velocity, 46.7% hard-hit rate, and 110.4 max exit velocity were better than the league average among all hitters.
O'Hoppe is healthy now and the Angels are all in on him as their starting catcher. He’s a diamond in the rough as the 15th catcher off draft boards.
