Braves' Matt Olson: Mashes fifth homer
Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Cubs.
After hitting the ball hard most of the early part of the season with little to show for it, Olson got rewarded for his efforts Tuesday, driving in his first run with a first-inning double that had an exit velocity of 105.2 mph before he belted a three-run bomb off Jameson Taillon in the fourth that left his bat at 108.2 mph. Over the last eight games, Olson is batting .310 (9-for-29) with two of his five homers on the season as he gets back into his 2023 form.

Braves' Matt Olson: Finally snaps slump
Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Mets.
Olson hit Atlanta's third and final homer during the third inning and it proved to be the game-winning blast. It was his first long ball since April 7, snapping an uncharacteristic 26-game skid. During that extended drought, he posted a .508 OPS with 30 strikeouts. On the year, Olson is slashing .202/.311/.372 with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI through 35 contests.

Braves' Matt Olson: Few concerns about slump
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: Goes deep in win
Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Olson slammed a monstrous 424-foot home run off Arizona left-hander Tommy Henry for his second of the season. The Atlanta first baseman later added a double off Kevin Ginkel and scored the game-tying run in the ninth inning. Olson appears to be headed for another solid season hitting in the heart of an uber-potent Atlanta lineup, as he's opened with a .269/.321/.654 slash line in his first 27 plate appearances.

Braves' Matt Olson: Three doubles on 30th birthday
Olson went 3-for-5 with three doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Phillies.
The first baseman celebrated his 30th birthday in style by rapping out two-baggers in three straight at-bats, including two in a seven-run eighth inning for Atlanta. Olson set career highs last year by batting .283 with 54 homers and 139 RBI, and he's off to a quick start in 2024 as he looks to put together another stellar campaign.
