Vogt, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 12th round of the 2007 MLB Draft, spent six seasons in the minor leagues before making his big-league debut at the age of 27.</p><p>Vogt was then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-chris-bassitt-eats-crow-on-new-york-hesitations-after-offseason-trade-from-as/" rel="noopener">traded</a> to the Athletics at the beginning of the 2013 season. It was in Oakland where Vogt finally assumed a full-time catching role, making the All-Star teams in 2015 and 2016.</p><p>In the 2015 season, widely considered the peak of Vogt’s offensive powers, the California native posted a .261 batting average with 18 homers, 71 RBI and 56 walks in 136 games played.</p><p>Through it all, Vogt became something of a fan favorite in Oakland, where Athletics fans created their own chant- “I believe in Stephen Vogt!”- to show their support for the journeyman catcher.</p><p>Most recently, Vogt has spent time with the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Atlanta Braves, where he was a member of the 2021 World Series-winning team.</p><p>Now, Stephen Vogt will call it a career, but that might not be the end of his career in baseball, necessarily. He is considering a role in coaching or managing, per the AP.</p><p>Best wishes to Stephen Vogt in whatever endeavor he does choose to pursue.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
