Under the Halo Podcast: Mike Trout & Logan O’Hoppe

[Music] there he is no I know where is he nice to see your show nice to see you show up Logan welcome welcome to the party i love him can you see this [Music] all good no take it on the way here good no just California drivers that’s what that’s what it is drivers it was a lot of things a lot it was my responsibility so have no problem taking accountability for it i am I’m enjoying the dynamic here by the way I got uh we have spies everywhere so we we’re we’re connected with everything i understand uh Logan I’m going to start with you you are a regular attendee at Beckham Trout’s games oh is that is that true can we confirm or deny that is that I don’t know if regular is a good term i’d like to get to as many as I can um I don’t know probably been to a couple you have to be been to a couple i was going to say is is if Logan’s not there does does Beckham say something uh he asked for sure him and uh him and Neto yeah neto oh Neto makes it out too neto’s Yeah Neto’s up on a list too yeah uh scene’s over now though right another one that’s okay i’m sure you got him like in an offseason program right sweet like no no no no we were fishing this off season in the house yeah fishing fishing in the house he’s fishing he hits he hits a lot at night too in the backyard fish is in the house too that’s impressive throws a little gummy fish on there i’m finding hooks everywhere i was going to say I I hope like that’s a cleanup job especially with the gummies that’s going to be that’s going to be tough to clean up that’s that’s sticky situation yeah I got to take the hooks off the like the trouble hooks off the lures cuz he’s flinging them on the couch and that sounds like the kind of stuff that Zach would be kind of getting him going on or is that you is that you Logan no I think Neto would like Neto would want to participate like Beckham would and then Mike and I have to dude from Miami that dude ain’t baiting no hook no no but he’s gonna think he’s nasty at fishing if he’s really a toy fish anyway well I’m sure it’s like it’s like that all the time but that but that’s that’s good well I’m glad that you guys It does seem like the the family dynamic is uh is legit not just like what you guys have on your own but you know it seems like it kind of carries over a little bit when we see this ball club i mean do we get do you guys feel a little bit of that that the brotherhood thing is that is that legit is that real yeah no it’s real um I think you know going into the season I think we try to emphasize it a lot more than the past and we got a great group of guys so you know we hang out we go to dinners we go to you know we come up hang out in the hotel rooms just uh you know just I think building the relationship off the field is you know just as big as you know being at the field so um it’s been uh it’s been fun who sets up dinner uh it’s either me or who rotates a few rotate me you Neto usually yeah me him Neto sometimes Kenley when we’re on yeah we’ll just be on the planes and be like “Hey we’re going to dinner tonight you guys want to go?” Boom and then usually you know 20 to 25 guys go so yeah it’s good logan what was what what went through your mind the first time you got an invite to a Mike Trout dinner on a road trip have to be a part of a team like to be honest with you um yeah I mean anytime we get together with the boys it’s awesome and it’s really helped a lot it’s happened more organically this year than it has in the years past like in the years past it felt like it was very forced and we like had to be there um this year it doesn’t feel like that at all like even if everyone can’t make it then you get a group of eight 10 guys like it’s still it’s still a good time so we’ve had a lot of road trips where we got into cities too um at a decent time yeah yeah yeah i mean I I just kind of feel like Mike you’ve like always been like the word is like you’ve been really good about bringing like the young guys up and I know like Logan’s been around for a little bit now but like when it when it’s first you know just kind of bringing those guys in like where does some of that come from because I I know that you are you’re like a connector in a lot of ways you bring people together yeah i you know I was fortunate enough when I came up I had a lot of great uh like great veteran guys yeah um you know you had Tori you had Vernon Howie uh Weave um you know just to bring it be a part of it and you know feel like a family you know cuz you you got guys come up and sometimes they you know I wouldn’t say like shy or scared to like you know yeah you got to do your part you know you’re a young guy and like you got to show you know play hard respect and I think that that comes along with it as well um but I think if you can make them the most comfortable they they play better and you know they don’t change who they who they are um you know I think when you get in trouble when guys are trying to like do too much or you know do something differently than what they were brought up to be and I think playing getting the guys connection and the relationships and to to play at their full potential I think that that comes along with it see I feel like that’s like such a big thing and like everybody wants to like feel like they’re a part of something and you feel I mean like and Logan you can speak to it a little bit more recently too like when you first came up like I mean making the big leagues like that’s a that’s a dream everybody has what they’re trying to do then you get the chance to come here and and I’ll never forget I mean you were showing guys around you were here for like a week and you were showing other guys around or they were getting the call but to like feel that instantly I mean that’s kind of cool that’s that seems abnormal yeah when you get called up it’s intimidating you know you walk in a room with guys that have have done it and guys that have done it well for a long time and um it’s it’s an intimidating thing for sure you know so the the more we could create a comfortable environment for the guys to come up then the better it is like even even myself showing up like you’re not scared but you are a little intimidated you know and anyone that doesn’t admit that’s lying to you and um I don’t even know if Mike remembers this like I walked over to him and he introduced himself as Mike and I was like “Wow this is it felt like it was a normal group of dudes pretty quick.” So um something we’re trying to create every new guy that comes up and um I think it’s safe to say that a lot of the guys that haven’t been here for a while can can feel pretty comfortable with one another mike was there a time when you felt like there was a switch of okay someone someone’s coming up and I’m not just you know the kid from Jersey that came up here like I you know you’d won MVPs and rookie of the year and all this stuff like did you feel like was there a time where maybe you felt like you had a different impression on guys than than from before um I wouldn’t say a particular time but you know it was just you know you just get a feeling when guys come up yeah you know you know what they’re dealing with when you know what they’re going through um you know what you want to you know how you felt when you came up so to make everything go smoothly and to be able to play like I said at full potential and you know not not change who you are I think that’s that’s big so I I’m curious to know I know you you guys went to an Eagles game this last year didn’t you oh yeah okay i want to hear I want to hear Logan’s take on this what’s it like going to an Eagles game with Mike Trout it’s nice because you don’t have to walk far from a parking spot you know you don’t have to wait online to get in the stadium vip parking you just you just go watch the game and walk out and it’s great uh no it was a fun day for sure appreciate him let me Are you okay with uh like the Philly fans because I know I mean you’re a New York guy yeah I mean I came up was that okay navigate through that or were you okay because you were with Mike well you were a Philly guy right i mean I came up with the Phillies in the minor leagues so I was kind of familiar with their fan base but um no being in New York I think in the Northeast you’re used to that kind of human and um yeah I was with Mike so all good is it fun bringing guys like for the first time like when they’re seeing to do that kind of stuff just the experience yeah you know it kind it kind of ruins them I guess how do you ever go back yeah uh you know like Neto’s a big Lions fan and there’s a big game this year so he’s he’s already angled he’s already said his him and his dad are coming up i said “All right there’s only one thing you can’t wear no Lions gear.” So but you know him he’s probably going to wear Lions gear and he’ll get heckled but it’s uh I feel like that’s one of those situations where like you can’t invite yourself uh I mean maybe Neto has a different If you know Neto I mean Well exactly yeah yeah for sure he’ll invite himself no doubt he has no no hesitation there no hesitation none no none but no he’s uh I mean yeah he’s definitely invited um I want him to experience it and he’ll probably be an Eagles fan after so you think that’ll flip him the Eagles better win i don’t know i just I just don’t get it cuz it’s Yeah how is he a Lions fan he’s from Miami so I So I said “Why aren’t you a Dolphins fan?” And he said “Because they stink.” And how then how’d you pick the Lions i said “Why’d you pick the Lions dude?” Like he said cuz they’re good i said what that don’t that don’t make sense but did he just discover football three years ago is that like how this played out i know he discovered hockey when the Panthers started winning yeah Panthers yeah now he’s a Florida Panther Club so um no you don’t you don’t you don’t know what you’re going to get with Neto but it’s uh it’s different and uh he’s he’s he’s awesome though i’m enjoying this because now he we have both of you and teaming up and he’s not here to defend himself so I think this is really good but I don’t think that this happens all the time but that doesn’t that doesn’t face him I don’t think no no he he he he loves him i think it fuels the fire oh yeah that’s so beautiful okay so Logan Mike took you to an Eagles game like how are you going to return the favor i mean how come you the Rangers how you going to pull that not in a lot at all i’m buying tickets still and going through it um no try to get them up to New York this winter i’ll never not go back to New York in the winter so um yeah we’re pretty close so you guys you guys I know you guys spent some time together in the offseason like not just like getting together for the Eagles games but I mean yeah living in the same area like when when you’re trying to to build that kind of stuff like how important do you think that is to try to to try to build some of that like the closeness of this group no it’s I mean like I said every every chance you get to you know hang out outside the stadium I think that’s that’s huge I think for for everybody um you know we always talk about Yeah we talked about it when he came down just like we got to get the guys together like we got to get guys to buy in and like um the relationships you know is huge especially out playing cuz you know there’s there’s ups and there’s downs and there’s there’s some moments during the season where it’s you know there’s going to be some yelling there’s going to be arguments there’s going to be disagreements and you know that happens all the time but you know when you’re when you’re a tight family you know things get straightened out and I think um you know that’s what we were trying to you know emphasize and that that comes along with hanging out outside the ballpark see brothers can fight right and then they then they move on and life go life goes on for sure for sure i mean there’s a lot I mean there’s been a lot of disagreements for sure but I think it it it you know as you know teammates and friends and you know guys we we’re playing for each other i think it it makes you better in the long run mike what was the first impression when Logan got the call and Logan was you showing up here september call was it 2022 and your first first game in the big leagues what was your what was your initial impression of this guy yeah well I seen him I was watching him in double A he was hitting a homer like every night so um I knew he was coming up um no just the way the work you know um heard a lot of great things about them from the front office and then um you know hearing things and then seeing things are two different things so um when I you know got to see him come in prepare you know just a step ahead of everybody in preparedness I think you know had a um mental focus of trying to be great and you know to to sustain and to be up here um for a long period of time in a career which he’s been doing great job um I think that’s that’s that’s huge and you know never takes the the game for granted always trying to work always trying to get better um and you know some people look at stuff that that they need to work on and they shy away from it he doesn’t he wants to get better at it you know some people can just you know complain about it and say “Oh that’s not right this ain’t right.” But he uh he puts the work in so you got to get you know hats off to him appreciate it Mikey yeah to hear that coming from Mike obviously means a ton but I mean it’s clear like Logan we’ve seen you putting putting that work in and and you’ve been very forthcoming and talking about stuff and places that you you got to work on and get better and I think the expectation you probably have for yourself is probably higher than anybody else’s expectation of you and there are a lot of people with very high expectations for you and and yours seem to exceed that when you’re balancing everything that you’re trying to do personally and and and adjusting different things how nice is it to be able to have someone like Mike it’s kind of you know someone to a look up to but but more than that just to be your friend it’s it’s a game changer like I I have my boys at home and and they help me more than I can say don’t get me wrong um and even they would tell you that they’re not going through what we are either sort of have Mike and um have someone that’s not only gone through it but done it at the highest level and done it as well as he has you know for as long as he’s been doing it um I can’t really put into words how much it means to not only me but the guys in that room and um I know I’ve leaned on him more as the years have gone on and had to get through different adversity and even how to handle some success too you know cuz that could be just as toxic as as the failure sometimes so um knowing better to learn from from him and um it’s really meant a lot to me he’s helped me more than he probably knows i I’m so glad you brought that up like that’s something I talk about all the time like with different coaches all different sports like not just baseball football basketball like handling success yeah that’s that is like so much tougher than handling failure and it from every coach has told me that but I mean Mike for you like to have the career that you’ve had handling success and and building on it and being able to to take it to the next level um what are some of the keys like what is what’s the kind of advice that you could give Logan or Zack or other guys on this team that are now starting to experience you know a a degree of success in this game it’s so hard to do yeah I think uh staying within yourself I think it’s hard because you know you go through a stretch where you’re just like you feel like you can’t get out and um you know it’s you can’t get like you can’t get so high you got to stay what got you there just keep riding that riding that wave because I think for me personally the game will humble humble you you know when you get too you know over cocky um you know then things start to you know come get come after you so um just trying to stay with the process it’s tough because like Well I was going to say how do I mean gosh how do you not feel yourself a little bit everybody you see is telling you how great you are all the time no doubt no doubt and I think that’s it’s it’s great but as a as personally as in like um like for yourself like all that stuff on the outside that you read is is great and you and you can feed off it but like to to keep it sustained and keep it forward you know you got to be within yourself you got to keep keep keep grinding every single day not not get too high not get too low um it’s tough cuz um but it’s it’s It’s fun i’ll tell you that of course for sure for sure but the game every kid watching right now is dreaming of being you guys there’s a lot of There’s a lot of times in my in my career where like I was I was going through a stretch where I was like feeling myself and then you know I don’t know if I said something or like I felt like I got a little too cocky and then the game humbled me you know I think that’s that’s where I’m getting at with this and um you know now it’s just like when you go through a nice stretch you know you just try to say like you know trusting process not not like getting out of yourself or you know trying to you know sound like you’re the best in the world like just just trying to keep up within yourself so and then when it goes the other way I mean Mike we we know that you’ve dealt with injuries the last couple years and you’re fighting through it and we all see how hard you’re you’re working and grinding and all the different things you’re doing do you feel like some of that that same approach is a benefit too like when you’re on the other side of that no doubt no doubt i think um you know just the positive mentality you know cuz there’s been some days where it’s like you know you come to the ballpark and it’s like man this is this is brutal but uh you know I think and there’s times when you walk to the plate and you’re like man I have no idea what’s going on up here i’m not seeing the ball the ball’s moving you know every every chance um but I think you know if you if you I’m real big on the snowball effect if you keep talking about it and worrying about it and putting your mind to it and it’s just going to keep snowball effect getting worse and worse and worse so um I’m always big on just staying positive you’re going to fail a lot in this game um you know if you you fail seven out of 10 times I mean you’re in the Hall of Fame no doubt so um I think Jeter’s mentioned something like that before um but I think working working hard and staying positive is is is tough and there’s been some times in this game and I you’ve been through it um I’ve been through it where it’s like you’re lost you know it’s just like a like a like a like a bad feeling and like any little thing of positivity like brings you up that just that that much you know um and you know I think it’s it’s way tougher now nowadays than it was you know when I first came up with with you know social media and everything um you know you get four hits and you go deep twice you all you’re the best player in the world next game you punch out three times go for five i mean yeah everybody forgets you know you suck you’re terrible um and you know it’s just not good for your your your mind and your to read any of that so um you know it’s a tough tough world we live in right now with with with social media but um you know it comes with it so well and I get the sense too like from what I’ve heard I can never relate to you guys in this sense but baseball seems like one of those sports that you can you can do the work probably to help fix the mind but you just can’t work your way through it like like it doesn’t matter how much you put in like sometimes you just can’t work your way out of some of this stuff like do you feel do you feel some of that Logan yeah I I Well first things first I I learned from last year going through the feeling that Mike’s talking about that that hard work is not transactional like as much as we like to think we’re going to work hard it’s going to guarantee success it doesn’t you know I’d rather go through some failure working my butt off than not and that’s why I do it because it’s easier to sleep at night when you put the work in and do it um but that that’s what I think about it like what are you going to do like nothing changes if you do nothing so you might as well work about it and fix it you know um but as far as the ups and downs like I’ve been working on this a lot recently with how I’m viewing the game like when I was younger and I wanted to play in the big leagues all I thought about was just playing in the big leagues i didn’t think about the result i didn’t think about the social media i didn’t think about that the stuff you hear from fans coaches peers whatever it is like all I thought about was just being here and playing in the big leagues nothing to do with the result um so it’s been an interesting thing now being here and thinking so much about um everything else and trying to filter outside of it um and trying to find the purity and just the game again you know cuz it’s a hard thing to do with how much goes goes around it um but yeah the more the more I could picture myself even when I’m out on this field playing like I’m 10 years old in my backyard again then the better off I am it sounds so cliche but um we’re all at our best when we just enjoy playing the game i know Mike enjoys the game you know i enjoy the game i don’t enjoy everything around the game that’s up here now um so that’s a big part of it that’s helped me stay sane even when it doesn’t go so well you think like having Beckham around like seriously oh it changes everything helps me yeah helps you i went 0 for five the other night kid came running up to me gave me a big hug like you have don’t care not at all you know I think it’s it’s changes changes a lot you know i think like he said you know it doesn’t matter if you go four for four or 0 for five um he don’t care he don’t care he’s still going to come up here hug you give you knuckles squeeze you whatever um you know it’s changed perspective too like like just coming to the ballpark and stuff and being able to see my son up in the stands um it’s you know it’s gives you a little bit more you know you know push so it’s uh it’s been fun see I can always appreciate this and I’m like I’m using you as a guide cuz Beckham’s a year older than my daughter so like however like whatever wherever Beckham was last year is kind of like where my girl’s at now and it’s like okay at three she’s three and a half she’s like “Okay she kind of gets it.” Like she kind of can can understand how things are going you know Beckham gosh at his age now he’s got to be like right there in the thick of everything and I think it’s so cool that you guys have that relationship yeah he knows every like I can tell him any number of on the team right now he knows exactly who it is yeah um I mean we listen to Calling All Angels to the When I take him to school every day it’s like he’s uh He doesn’t hear it enough of the ballpark no he’s fully engaged you know I like this morning yeah you know I took him to school and uh I said “Bro what do you want to listen to?” You know usually it’s like like Brandon Lake or Morgan Wallen uh he goes “Uh let’s listen to Calling Angels today.” I said “All right sick.” He goes “I heard it again last night Dad i want to hear it again.” That’s so good that’s so good yeah uh and you know gosh I mean Logan I think for you like to be able to be able to have that like I mean to be Uncle Logan i mean like what a what a cool what a cool thing yeah i came I came home the other night and I get out of my truck and he runs out and he’s got the Oh Hoppy jersey on and he’s and he’s runs up to me he takes it off he goes I go “What are you doing?” He goes “Put this in your truck.” I said “For what?” He goes “When you go to the ballpark have Hoppy sign it for me.” I’m like I’m like “All right buddy.” Yeah that’s amazing that’s so cool did you know that i didn’t no I didn’t know there have been plenty stories like that in the past couple years though logan okay so Mike obviously has Beck i’ve been having him around i said and for you it’s like you were just kind of being like uh you were like adopting a whole bunch of Angel fans the other day you went out to the parking lot and go hang with some fans to go do that to to like what inspired uh wanting to go just play stickball at the parking lot with some with a bunch of Angel fans yeah i I wish there hadn’t been any phones out to be honest with you because I hit on the purity of the game before um trying to find purity of the game again you know i pulled in on a getaway day one Sunday and um everyone knows you don’t have a lot of time on those those day games you know but I was thinking if I have time one day I’m going to go out and play with those kids because I had seen a group of kids playing with the ball so um went out there and and did it and it was awesome and it just felt like the game again you know so always trying to find that purity uh like I said I wish it hadn’t gone anywhere on any any phones or any video but um so is that is that something you’ve done more than once we just that was the one time got caught on camera no I’ve done it once i’ve done I’ve tried to do a bunch of stuff to to find the purity of the game again you know but um yeah that was just one time okay so for like a a a role of I guess you you guys are leaders of this team and all that but it sounds like it’s like a fun group can you help me understand the dynamic a little bit i think we get them i think we get I think we get Neto but if this is like a sitcom like help me explain or help help teach us a little bit about who are like the different characters in that clip we got every kind of character I think you you can think of we got a great group of guys i don’t think two guys are the same in that room that’s what I’ll say no we got I mean we got I don’t even know where it is nobody’s No one’s watching it’s just us it’s Yeah uh Trab’s like the fun older brother yeah um for sure i’m trying to go like Wardy don’t say nothing yeah wardo is like the stoic pro that we’re hanging around he’s just there he’s just there hitting home runs yeah nolan is just like a Nolan’s like the younger brother that you just laugh at a lot yeah you guys were almost You guys were like almost bullies to to Nolan no he gives it He does it to himself though he That’s like Jay Wash putting a ball on a tea and having us not hit it you know like it’s just right there yeah he does it to himself um Yeah like we like you said we got I think to get a team to pay play to their full potential it’s being loose and having fun i think that’s the biggest thing i think you go out there and play all like tight and you know not having fun I think you’re not going to get results you want so I think you know we we go out there with with uh you know Busy keeps us loose oh man the best you know it’s just uh Yeah we got a fun a fun uh Hold on i want I want some story time for a second can we get Can we get a Tim bus story oh man um Tim bus story maybe not no like I say he just keeps us loose after the game yeah and I like it went from like after games he he you know he’s got he’s a guy like usually calls out like the three two or three big big plays that happened in the game and now it’s it’s one through nine and whoever p whoever like whoever played that day is getting called and everybody’s getting a shout out and speeches just to like you said to keep that that that family bond um he’s really good with that stuff you know I think you know when when teams and when we’re you know grinding a little bit um he keeps it loose so Logan have you gotten an invite yet to Trout National how do I How do I put that first of all do you play Oh you saw You he already been He’s been That’s what I wasn’t sure if I was like You You don’t play You don’t play golf i do i will occasionally yeah yeah i mean it’s not done right right or is it uh it’s close not Not fully done it’s sick though i wasn’t sure if I could say I bit or not but You’re good i mean I’ve read about you in the Golfer Journal so there’s there’s there’s some stuff like there’s there’s press out on on that kind of stuff that’s sick what a cool project yeah it was a fun project um it’s going to be like obviously when when it opens i think it’d be cool for you know a lot of teams go to like Philly and Sure you know it’s close to Philly so um it’s going to get opportunities for for um you know players and you know staff to to go play it you know I kind of made it uh as an escape away from the outside world to go out there just you know have some fun play golf be yourself and um it’s been like you said fun process process working with Tiger and what’s Tiger like what’s Tiger like to work together on something with yeah no it’s it’s funny you say that cuz when I first you know when it first came up you know obviously watched him on TV sure saw him at a couple tournaments never like really formally like met him yeah and uh you know I’ve been I’ve been kind of like star struck a little bit probably twice in my life okay um well now three times uh pro first time was meeting Jeter on second base okay um which is cool cuz I got a card with him now of that that’s sick um met Denzel Washington in in uh in LA at Dodger okay dodgers clubhouse which was unreal was that the Allstar game yet no it might have been it might have been and then uh and then Tiger just the way you know the like the the world you know paints a picture about somebody how like dominant he was and like oh sometimes he rushed people the wrong way but like when I met him it was just like he’s one like he’s a dude like he’s one of us like it was cool like it was uh it was fun to fun to be a part of you know building that the course and you know he I remember looking at looking at him at the eighth hole and he’s like um do you want to do you want the uh I was thinking maybe we should move the T- box over here to make it look you know a little bit longer just to change the visual and then he looks at me goes “It’s not my course it’s yours what do you want?” Like that that was pretty cool to me it was like one of them moments like let me try so is your miss left or right that’s gonna mess yeah i haven’t played I haven’t played in golf yeah yeah for sure but u I think it was pretty cool just him asking me like “Hey it’s your course your course.” And uh I’m just like “Dude you played all the top courses in the world you played everywhere you make it nasty.” So sick it’s been sick i think that’s cool i think it’s I think I think it’s amazing i think it’s amazing like what you guys what you guys have together and uh and and doing this kind of stuff and hanging as a team and being able to like to to be to be leaders of this group of major league franchises and Mike you’ve done it for a long time and now I mean Logan I know you’re you’re taking on a lot of leadership responsibility too i mean is that I I I know we’ve talked about this kind of stuff in the past but that that really something that you embrace and want to and want to have a role on with this group absolutely you want to be a part of of Yeah bringing something in a good direction you know um but I’m I’m really grateful I got this guy to my left because um it’s his team it’s his organization you know so um happy I can be a part of it under under what he’s running mike where’s this group going to go this I’ve been call the 25U crew you guys are all graduating now you guys are all getting you guys are all getting old but where’s where’s where’s this where’s this group going to take this franchise yeah I think like you said all the guys that come up um you know obviously Hoppy Neto uh the young guys null um we got a lot of we got some guys in the in the Myers that are coming up as well you know they get it and they have that that factor and the leadership role and um you know like I said I think this team can go anywhere um you know we the like I said the the bond and the and the friendship and the and the love for each other I think is can take us you know anywhere um you know there’s going to be some stretches you know in the next you know 3 4 months that uh it’s going to be good it’s going to be bad um hopefully more good than bad but we’re going to be a tight group and I think that’s that that’ll you know take us and I’m not
