Olson heating up … After posting a career year in 2023 that included a .283 batting average and 54 HR, Matt Olson (1B, ATL) entered 2024 with a 15 ADP. Through 292 PA, he has a .261 BA with 11 HR. How are things under the hood?
| Year | PA | HR/xHR | BA/xBA | bb%/ct% | GB/LD/FB | h% | HctX | PX/xPX | HR/F | Brl% |
