Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Matt Olson, 32-year-old Atlanta Braves first baseman, is having an exceptional 2026 season through early May. Slashing .293-.308/.379/.653 with a 1.032 OPS and 13-14 home runs in 39-45 games, Olson leads the NL in home runs and RBIs (33-36). He recently hit his 300th career home run and is on pace for his best season. Olson has evolved from being labeled a "slugger" to becoming one of MLB's most complete hitters with no holes in his swing. He maintains an impressive 820-game consecutive games played streak, the longest active in baseball. The Braves are the best team in MLB with a 31-14 record, and Olson is a key contributor to their dominant offense alongside Drake Baldwin.
