31-Year-Old First Baseman1B
Atlanta Braves
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Olson has played in all 162 games in each of his four seasons with Atlanta, averaging 36.5 home runs and 108.8 RBI per year since making the jump to the National League. His reliable presence has propped up a lineup that has been without stars like Ronald Acuna and Austin Riley for long stretches and has seen dramatic fluctuations in performance from players like Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris. While he had impossibly large shoes to fill in replacing Freddie Freeman in Atlanta, Olson has exceeded all reasonable expectations since leaving Oakland, making two All-Star teams while adding a third career Gold Glove in 2025. Entering his age-32 season, Olson has the longest active consecutive games streak in MLB and one of the longest of the modern era, which provides drafters with peace of mind. His strikeout rate has steadied at around 25 percent, a totally acceptable level given his elite power from the left side of the plate. Olson boosts his OBP with a walk rate that has reached double digits six years running. Read Past Outlooks
