In the wake of injury, Angels rookie catcher Logan O'Hoppe been using his time on the IL to observe the game in a way he never has before.
. But in the wake of the most significant injury of his career, he has also been using the time to learn and observe the game in a way he never has before.“It’s like, you take the physical stuff out of the game,” O’Hoppe said. “That’s the biggest worry when you’re in it, is getting through it physically and playing well, but I don’t have to worry about that right now. So this is an interesting perspective and I’ve learned a lot.
“It could be anything,” Thaiss said, “I’d say 98% of the time [his questions are] about the game, the other 2% it’s just messing around with some stuff.” New York native Logan O’Hoppe grew up as a Yankees fan, and now he’ll be able to play in a stadium that holds a special meaning to him and his family.
He had some pain, but in his elbow, for the first two days post-operation, mostly because he was still adjusting to the fixed position his arm was in in the sling. He was in a sling regularly for three weeks, needing to continue wearing it while sleeping for an additional three weeks after that, but was back to normal at the beginning of June.
