Daily News | Phillies’ Bryson Stott feels for injured former teammate and good friend Logan O’Hoppe
second baseman Bryson Stott saw the video of Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe popping his shoulder swinging a bat last Thursday, his heart sank. It seemed cruel that O’Hoppe would be injured at Yankee Stadium, of all places. He grew up in Long Island and was raised a Yankees fan. While he was rising through the Phillies’ minor league system with Stott, he told his friend how badly he wanted to play there someday.
He jogged to first base in time to be credited with a single, but it came at a steep cost. With tears streaming down his face, he slammed his helmet on the ground, and exited the game, which the Yankees won, 9-3. An MRI later revealed that he had a torn labrum in his left shoulder, which bothered him earlier. The 23-year-old rookie who was off to a promising start needed surgery and will miss four to six months.
, he and Stott stayed in touch. Stott was sad to see him go, but he knew his friend would get more playing time in Anaheim rather than Philly, where his path to the majors was blocked by All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto. He liked to check the box scores for O’Hoppe, and sometimes he watched his games. “I would check up on him every couple of days or so, just to see how he was doing,” Stott said. “He was hitting a bunch of homers. I was so proud of him.
