Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Matt Olson is having an exceptional 2026 season with the Atlanta Braves, slashing .293/.379/.653 with 13 home runs (tied for NL lead) and a 186 OPS+ through 39 games. The 32-year-old first baseman is on pace for one of his best seasons and is a contender for NL MVP. He recently hit his 300th career home run and continues his remarkable 825-game consecutive games played streak, now 10th all-time in MLB history. Olson has evolved from being labeled a "slugger" to becoming one of baseball's most complete hitters, eliminating holes in his swing. He is a three-time All-Star leading the Braves' offense alongside Drake Baldwin, with the team running away with the NL East.
