Is the form following ‘I hope’ Simple Present or Subjunctive I? ‘I hope they catch it’ ‘I hope he catches it’ ‘I hope he catch it’

In English, the present indicative (not subjunctive) is used after “hope”. People can also use “will”, but the use of “will” is considered a bit colloquial. Verbs that generally do govern the subjective (when the mood is indeed subjunctive) include “insist” and “suggest”, although British speakers don’t usually bother with it (the subjunctive is much more alive in American English).

Just to add a note, I hope he catch it is not correct.
