Oakland A's 2016 Player Profile: Stephen Vogt

The 6'0, 225-pound Vogt has been on the A's since 2013, and has made more than a name for himself. He's got a bobblehead, he's got his own chant, a bagel nickname, a political slogan, a pretty sweet Chris Farley impression and much more ... only in a few short years!

Vogt grew up a little over three hours away from the Coliseum in Visalia, California. He excelled in both baseball and basketball (perhaps a peek at things to come?) in high school, but focused on baseball alone when he attended college at Azusa Pacific. However, his wife, Alyssa, picked up the slack and continued to play though college.
