The Tools Are Real. 2025 Was Not the Player.
FanGraphs called both Angels catchers 'absolutely dreadful' in 2025. That is a brutal assessment for a 23-year-old who was one of the better young catchers in baseball the year before. The 2024 O'Hoppe — 15 HR, solid framing numbers, top-10 MLB in catcher framing metrics — looked like a legitimate long-term answer behind the plate.
The organization deserves some blame here. Development support for catchers requires dedicated resources, and the Angels have a history of underinvesting in exactly that. New catching coach Max Stassi changes the calculus — Stassi is a former big-league catcher who was himself known for elite framing, and he and Suzuki are personally working with O'Hoppe this spring.
The spring triple and two RBI against Colorado on Feb 24 are exactly the kind of early signal you want to see — not because one hit means anything, but because it suggests he is swinging without the mechanical hesitation that plagued him in 2025. One bounce-back season and he is exactly what the Angels need him to be.
