Player Outlook
After delivering the best year of his career in 2023 with 54 homers, 139 RBI and a .283/..389/.604 slash line, Matt Olson took a major step back last season and finished with 29 home runs and a .790 OPS. The decline was well earned, as the first baseman saw his average exit velocity dip two ticks to 91.5 mph, and his barrel rate and hard-hit rate dropped four points (to 12.4 percent) and nearly eight points (to 47.4 percent). Olson's batted-ball profile remained largely unchanged, but pitchers attacked him more aggressively (50.3 zone percentage), while he also swung at more pitches out of the strike zone. Atlanta's lineup as a whole went through some troubles, and the injury absences of Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies diminished the group significantly. Olson was still a productive piece, but fantasy managers likely overpaid while coming off a career-best year. Now entering his age-31 campaign, Olson is a strong candidate to rebound and has a high floor given the offense around him and the fact he's played in all 162 games in each of the past three seasons.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Goes back-to-back for first homer

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-0 win over Miami. After going hitless in his first three at-bats of the night, Olson went back-to-back with Marcell Ozuna in the seventh inning and singled to drive in two more runs in the eighth. While Olson is batting just .222 through 34 plate appearances thus far, the star first baseman does have five RBI, three doubles, three runs scored and seven walks across eight games.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Flexing muscles in camp

    Rotowire
    Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees. He went back-to-back with Austin Riley in the first inning off Marcus Stroman. The blast was Olson's second of the spring in 13 at-bats, and the 30-year-old first baseman will look to rebound this season after what was by his standards a disappointing 2024 campaign in which he produced "only" 29 homers and 98 RBI.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Homers twice in rout

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs, four total RBI and three total runs scored in Thursday's 15-3 win over Cincinnati. Olson got the scoring started with a solo shot off Julian Aguiar in the second inning before adding a three-run homer in the fifth, extending Atlanta's lead to 8-1. While it's been a down year overall for Olson, he's been on fire down the stretch, going 15-for-36 (.417) with a pair of home runs and 15 RBI in his last 10 games. The 30-year-old first baseman has boosted his slash line to .243/.326/.459 with 28 homers, 94 RBI and 76 runs scored across 647 plate appearances this season.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Drives in four in win

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Dodgers. Olson has gone 13-for-45 (.289) with nine RBI and five doubles over 12 contests in September. He hasn't hit a home run since he swatted two of them Aug. 29. The first baseman is up to a .238/.317/.442 slash line with 25 homers, 86 RBI, 71 runs scored, 36 doubles and no stolen bases across 148 games this season.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Drives in five runs

    Rotowire
    Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, two doubles, five RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Twins. Olson drilled a three-run homer in the first inning and drove in two more runs with a second-inning double, and he's now gone deep in back-to-back games. After hitting only 15 long balls through his first 106 games, Olson has eight over his last 25 games. The hot streak has pushed his season slash line to .230/.312/.432 with 52 extra-base hits and 71 RBI through 552 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Goes yard Sunday

    Rotowire
    Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Nationals. Olson provided Atlanta's lone run in the game, tagging Jacob Barnes for a solo homer in the sixth inning. The first baseman has 22 home runs this season and is slashing .226/.309/.420 with 58 runs and 66 RBI in 547 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Racks up six RBI in win

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-4 with two homers, six RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Rockies. Olson walked in his first trip to the plate before launching a two-out grand slam in the third to put Atlanta on top 5-3. But the first baseman wasn't done there, adding a second long ball in the seventh to give him a season-high six RBI in the contest. Olson has now recorded multiple hits in three of his last seven games, batting .307 (8-for-26) over that stretch with four extra-base hits, eight RBI and three runs scored. It marked his second multi-homer game of the campaign.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Continues power surge

    Rotowire
    Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 victory against the Marlins on Thursday. Olson hit one of three Atlanta homers, swatting a two-run shot to right field in the first inning. The first baseman has gone deep in two straight games and in four of his past six contests, belting five homers and driving in eight runs during that span. While he's very unlikely to come close to the 54 long balls he racked up last year, Olson has given himself a shot to reach 30 homers for the fourth straight season with his recent power surge, as he's now up to 18 on the campaign.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Goes yard twice in win

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers. The slugger took Freddy Peralta deep in the fourth inning before clobbering a Nick Mears offering in the eighth. Travis d'Arnaud followed up each blast with a homer of his own, as they became the third pair of Atlanta teammates to go back-to-back twice in a game -- Fred McGriff and David Justice accomplished the feat in 1993, with Javy Lopez and Andruw Jones also doing it in 1998. Olson's first multi-homer performance of 2024 comes as part of a hot streak that has seen him bat .290 (9-for-31) over the last eight games with four long balls and six RBI.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Homers in back-to-back games

    Rotowire
    Olsen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Mets. Olson's fourth-inning blast was his 15th of the season and plated three. After going nearly three weeks without a homer, Olson went deep Sunday for the second consecutive day. He now holds a modest five-game hitting streak, batting 7-for-20 (.350) during that stretch.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Snaps out of power slump

    Rotowire
    Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies. Olson took rookie Michael Mercado deep in the second inning to break out of a 14-game homerless drought. It was Olson's second streak of 14 or more games without a homer this season after having only one such streak last season. The 30-year-old entered the game in a 10-for-65 slump with just two extra-base hits and three RBI in his last 18 games, so he'll perhaps now find some positive momentum heading into the All-Star break.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Clubs 12th homer

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Yankees. His fourth-inning shot off Carlos Rodon helped chase the southpaw from the game as part of a three-homer, eight-XBH barrage from Atlanta. Olson's bat has come alive in June, and through 74 plate appearances on the month he's slashing .309/.365/.574 with four of his 12 long balls on the year and 10 of his 40 RBI.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: On base four times in loss

    Rotowire
    Olson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and his extra-base hit streak to five games, with another impressive performance. Olson is batting .410 (16-for-39) over that 10-game stretch, pushing his slash line on the season to .261/.342/.471 with 11 homers and 38 RBI in 69 contests.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Belts 11th homer

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in a 9-2 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday. Olson was part of a big fifth inning for Atlanta, swatting the team's third and final homer in the frame. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to nine contests, a stretch during which he is batting .361 (13-for-26) with two home runs and five RBI. Olson's 11 homers are second-most on Atlanta but are well off the pace of the 54 long balls he belted last season.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Swats homer No. 10

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles. The first baseman spoiled Baltimore's combined shutout bid by taking Keegan Akin deep in the eighth inning. Olson has hit safely in six straight games, and over his last 16 contests he's slashing .328/.385/.586 with three of his 10 homers on the season.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Falls triple short of cycle

    Rotowire
    Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, three RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Pirates. Olson's eighth-inning blast off Aroldis Chapman was a no-doubter over the right field wall, clearing the stadium and splashing down in the Allegheny River. Olson had previously added a two-run double and finished the game just a triple short of the cycle. Over his last 13 games, Olson has six multi-hit efforts, batting .308 with four homers, two doubles, 11 RBI and six runs scored in that span.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Goes deep in win

    Rotowire
    Olson went 2-for-5 in Wednesday's win over the Cubs with a solo home run. Olson launched a two-out, solo homer in the top of the seventh to extend Atlanta's lead to seven runs, giving the first baseman his fourth long ball this month and seventh overall on the season. The veteran first baseman also added a single on the night, marking his ninth multi-hit performance of the campaign and fifth in his last nine games. He's now hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests, tallying three homers and eight RBI over that stretch.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Homers in first game of twin bill

    Rotowire
    Olson went 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI across both games of Monday's doubleheader split with San Diego. Olson did most of his damage in Game 1, swatting a solo homer and adding another RBI on a single. The first baseman has gotten off to a slow start this season with a .230/.332/.410 slash line and just six homers through 44 games after going deep a career-high 54 times last year. Olson has been perking up with the bat of late, though, hitting .393 (11-for-28) with two home runs and seven RBI over his past eight contests.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Few concerns about slump

    Rotowire
    Olson hasn't hit a home run in 18 straight games, slashing .167/.291/.242 over that stretch with three doubles, one triple and seven RBI, but he remains among the league leaders in key hitting metrics, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Despite the first baseman's lack of production in April, Olson sits in the 97th percentile in hard-hit rate and average exit velocity on the season, numbers comparable to what he posted during his career-best 2023 campaign. It seems only a matter of time before the 30-year-old gets dialed in and begins racking up hits and homers.

  • Braves' Matt Olson: Swats third homer

    Rotowire
    Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks. The first baseman took Ryne Nelson deep to lead off the second inning and set Atlanta on its way to a 5-2 victory and a series sweep. Olson has picked up where he left off after slugging a career-high 54 homers in 2023, and through eight games this season he's batting .303 (10-for-33) with five doubles, three home runs and eight RBI.
