The Tools Are Real. The .191 AVG in 2026 Is Also Real.
FanGraphs called both Angels catchers 'absolutely dreadful' in 2025. The hope entering 2026 was that a year of development under new catching coach Max Stassi — himself a former big-league catcher known for elite framing — would reset O'Hoppe's offensive approach. The spring suggested it might: he led the team in spring home runs, looked mechanically cleaner, and showed the plate discipline that was absent in 2025.
Through 38 regular-season games, the bounce-back has not materialized. A .191 average in 2026 follows a .211 in 2025 and a .228 in 2024. The trajectory is going in the wrong direction. The framing ability is still real — O'Hoppe remains an above-average receiver, and the pitch framing metrics that made him look like a legitimate answer in 2023 haven't disappeared. But framing only covers so much ground when the bat is this quiet.
He is 24 years old. The 2023 version — .258 AVG, 9 HR in 59 games — still exists somewhere. Whether it shows up this year is the question. Stassi is still working with him. The approach is still being retooled. The Angels don't have a better option behind the plate right now. But they are running out of runway on the "he'll turn it around" narrative, and the trade deadline will force a decision about whether to address it externally.
