Matt Olson Fantasy Stats

Across 529 plate appearances in 2026, Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson is hitting .264/.340/.549 with 35 home runs, 74 RBI, 86 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The lefty slugger has been a consistent source of high-end power in Atlanta all season long, but he's been especially productive of late. Across his first 46 plate appearances of August, Olson has already hit six home runs. After hitting 54 homers in 2023, Olson logged back-to-back seasons with 29 dingers. He looks to have gotten back to his 2023 form in 2026, as his 15.6% barrel rate is his highest since that breakout year. Olson's hard-hit rate also remains over 50%, which helps keep his batting average in a respectable place despite his slightly elevated 25.3% strikeout rate. With his ability to hit for power and his place in the stellar Braves lineup, Olson profiles as a high-end fantasy first baseman who should continue to provide elite four-category production.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson has been on a home run binge of late, and that continued on Monday night in the team's 7-6, 10-inning loss to the division-rival New York Mets at Truist Park. Olson went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. The 32-year-old left-handed slugger's first long ball came in the third inning against right-handed starter Freddy Peralta, and his second blast came off closer Devin Williams in the ninth inning to force extra innings. Olson wraps up a strong series against the Mets after homering twice in Friday's series opener. The former first-rounder continues to be one of the most consistent, high-end sources of power in fantasy baseball. After Monday night's strong performance, Olson is slashing .273/.344/.546 with an .890 OPS, 24 home runs, 57 RBI, 61 runs, and two stolen bases in his 348 at-bats. So far in six games in July, he's gone 6-for-25 (.240) with four homers, a double, five RBI, and seven runs scored across 28 plate appearances.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson finally got back in the home run column in Friday night's 5-3 victory over the division-rival New York Mets at Truist Park, going 2-for-3 at the plate with two solo home runs, a walk, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .273 and his OPS to .883. It was the first time that Olson had cleared the fences in 16 games, and his second multi-homer performance of the 2026 season. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed slugger hit .315 (28-for-89) with four home runs, four doubles, seven RBI, 13 runs scored, and a stolen base in 23 games across 97 plate appearances during June, but he hadn't homered since June 12 before his two blasts on Friday night. With the big game, Olson is now slashing .273/.345/.538 on the season with 22 home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored, and two stolen bases in his 374 plate appearances. He remains one of the most consistent power bats in fantasy, regardless of position.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson was seeing the ball well in the 6-5 walk-off loss in Chicago on Tuesday night to the White Sox, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, three RBI, and a walk to raise his average to .271 on the year and his OPS to .903. Both of Olson's home runs came in his first two at-bats of the game, and it was his first multi-homer performance of the 2026 season. The 32-year-old left-handed slugger nearly had a third round-tripper in the game, but it was brought back. Olson remains one of the most consistent power hitters in the game, and he's been especially hot lately, going 17-for-57 (.298) with five home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, 12 runs scored, and a stolen base in his last 14 games since May 24. He's now hitting .271/.342/.561 on the season with a .903 OPS, 19 home runs, 50 RBI, 49 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 262 at-bats. The three-time All-Star leads the league with 147 total bases and trails only Kyle Schwarber for the home run lead in the National League.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson is on pace for a monster season in 2026. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's now slashing .296/.377/.654 with 14 home runs in 41 games and 183 plate appearances. Olson leads the league in RBI (36), doubles (15), runs scored (36), OPS (1.031), and total bases (104) for the first-place Braves. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed slugger has gone 10-for-34 (.294) in nine games so far in May with five home runs, two doubles, eight RBI, nine runs scored, and one stolen base. Not only does Olson rake, but he's been durable, as he entered the 2026 campaign with the longest active consecutive games streak in baseball. His underlying numbers back up his strong start, too, as he's in the 92nd percentile in hard-hit rate, and he holds a .406 xwOBA, which ranks 12th in baseball. Olson probably won't have a batting average near .300 by season's end, but his durability and power production remain elite for fantasy managers.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson was tearing the cover off the ball Thursday night as the Braves dismantled the Arizona Diamondbacks 17-2. Olson was leading the charge for the Braves' offense, going 3-for-5 with three RBI, three runs, a home run, and a walk. His home run came in the first inning off Diamondbacks' starter, Ryne Nelson. The Braves are now sitting at 5-2 on the season, and Olson is slashing an impressive .321/.367/.571 with one home run, five RBI, five runs scored, and four doubles. Olson remains one of the top options at the first baseman position, and is a must-start in all formats. Additionally, he is a model of consistency, having played in all 162 games for four straight seasons and posting over 685 plate appearances each season, which allows him to continue to rack up counting stats. The Braves finish out the weekend in Arizona, where Olson will face two right-handed pitchers and a left-hander on Sunday.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson continues to carry a high floor for fantasy purposes heading into the 2026 regular season. Olson has played in all 162 games since joining the Braves in 2022 and has continued to deliver high-end counting stats. Since 2022, Olson has hit at least 29 home runs in each campaign and even surpassed the 30-HR mark in two of them, including a career-best 54-HR season. During this four-year stretch, Olson has logged at least 95 RBI in each season and scored over 85 runs in all but one. Even though he fell short of the 30-HR mark for the second-straight season in 2025, managers should still be looking to invest in the 31-year-old this summer. He generated a strong 53.5% hard-hit rate with a .360 xwOBA, both of which were increases from 2024. Additionally, he drew walks at 12.4% rate, the second-highest mark during his time in Atlanta. With a healthy Ronald Acuna Jr. leading the lineup, Olson has a clear path to remain a high-end contributor for counting stats and could even see a slight uptick in power.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson homered for the fifth time in six games to help the team to a 9-4 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Along with his solo shot off right-hander Sauryn Lao, Olson added two singles to finish 3-for-5 with an additional run scored. Olson has gone an eye-popping 23-for-60 (.383) with 12 extra-base hits (seven HRs, three doubles, two triples), 15 RBI, and 15 runs scored in 16 games this month. Over 153 games and 682 plate appearances this season, the 31-year-old has slashed .281/.372/.497 with 28 homers, 92 RBI, and 92 runs. With the roll he's on, Olson has a strong chance to swat 30-plus HRs for the fifth time in his career and an outside chance to reach 100 RBI for the fourth time

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson was a triple shy of the cycle in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, reaching base five times in a dominant performance. Olson went 3-for-3 with a double, home run, and two walks. The big day comes on the heels of a 0-for-4 outing on Friday. The 31-year-old is now slashing .271/.372/.495 on the season, and continues to be a consistent force in an otherwise underwhelming Braves campaign. With Ronald Acuna Jr. back in the lineup, Olson should see more RBI opportunities. He remains an elite option across all formats, offering top-tier production in every category except stolen bases.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson went 3-for-4 on Friday, including a double, three RBI, and three runs scored in a 12-4 win over the Rockies. The 31-year-old is riding a five-game hit streak and has reached base safely via hit or walk in 15 consecutive contests, going 16-for-55 (.291) with seven doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, 11 runs scored, and a 10:12 BB:K over that span. Although the batting average has tailed off over the last two seasons, the 2x All-Star is having another fine year, slashing .246/.350/.476 with 14 home runs, a .359 wOBA, and a 130 wRC+. The left-handed slugger will face off with rookie Chase Dollander in Colorado on Saturday, who brings a 6.85 ERA and 1.54 WHIP into the matchup, and with the Braves owning the highest implied run total on the board, Olson should be in play as a DFS option.
