Logan O'Hoppe 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Step Back In 2025 Shouldn't Overshadow Production
Logan O'Hoppe was a popular breakout candidate last year. That didn't materialise. In 119 games, the Angels catcher hit .213/.258/.371 with 19 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs, and two stolen bases. A significant drop off from his .244/.303/.409 slash line in 2024 (136 games) and 2023 emergence when O'Hoppe hit .236/.296/.500 in 51 games. O'Hoppe's quality of contact last year was similar to 2024. His 13.3% Barrel% ranked in the 83rd percentile, and 46.9% HardHit% ranked in the 72nd percentile. O'Hoppe also had a solid .425 xSLG (expected slugging percentage), which ranked in the 52nd percentile. It's unlikely O'Hoppe will hit for a good average, given his .228 xBA in 2025. O'Hoppe also had a .318 BABIP in 2024, which will have helped him hit .244. The power is legitimate, and even though catcher is a position of more depth than we've seen for many years, only nine catchers hit more home runs in 2025 than O'Hoppe. The Angels' backstop played fewer games than all nine of them. In two catcher leagues, O'Hoppe is an ideal second option. Especially as ~20 catchers are being drafted before him. In deeper one-catcher leagues, if you skip on the top options, O'Hoppe should still be on your radar in the last couple of rounds.
