Logan STUD O’Hoppe hit 14HRs in only 182 at bats. Thats a homer in every 13 at bats
The BARE MINIMUM league average for at bats in a season ia 550 at bats. That means at the pace Logan O’Hoppe played at, at the very MINIMUM he was going to hit 42 HRs
Superstar players that play the majority of the season average 660 at bats. That would put Logan O’Hoppe on pace for a 50HR season
Keep in mind Logan averaged a homer in every 13 at bats in his freaking rookie year so hes going to keep getting better and improving on that. Meaning its a given that hes going to be able to hit a heck ton of HRs no matter how many at bats he gets in a season
Furthermore, the majority of Logan’s HRs in 2023 either gave the Angels the lead, tired the game, or came with 2 outs. Meaning we already have evidence that Logan O’Hoppe is a lock in the clutch. Dude is a real clutch hitter – something the Angels sorely lacked in 2023. Rendon is known for being THE clutch hitter, and now there’s O’Hoppe who statistically has hit most of his HRs so far to give the Angels the lead, tie the game or came with 2 outs.
2024 is a year to pay close attention to. I know right now it hurts that Ohtani walked away but Logan O’Hoppe has all the markings of a great and it feels like he’s about to explode in 2024
