Matt Olson Fantasy Stats

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.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in his team's 7-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran also walked twice. Olson knocked in teammate Austin Riley to culminate a three-run fifth inning with a 417-foot blast to dead-center. It came off Brewers' reliever DL Hall's first pitch of the outing, and was dinger No. 14 on the season for him. The 31-year-old is sporting one of his lowest averages against righties in 2025 (.227). However, he's underperforming his .269 xBA by over 30 points (.238). Furthermore, Olson holds the best quality of contact metrics of his career -- boasting personal-bests in average exit velo (94.2 MPH) and hard-hit rate (56.3%).

The veteran infielder kicked off the scoring in the game with a solo homer in the first inning and later came back and added an RBI double to tie the game at 7-7 in the ninth and send it into extra innings. Olson is putting together a solid season, hitting .250 with nine doubles, 11 homers, 29 runs, and 28 RBI across 180 at-bats. He's been on fire of late, hitting .414 with four homers and seven RBI in his past seven contests.

The veteran infielder hit an inside-the-park home run in the third inning to give the Braves their final two runs of the contest. Overall, Olson is hitting .225 with six homers, 19 runs, and 18 RBI over 120 at-bats for the Braves this season. He is off to a bit of a slow start by his standards, but fantasy gamers should remain patient with the star corner infielder.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson went 1-for-3 with a single, a run scored, and an RBI in the Braves' 7-6 home win on Monday night. He has hit safely in each of his last six games and in nine of his last 10, going 10-for-34 (.294) over that stretch with a double, two home runs, eight RBI, and a .405 wOBA. Olson is hitting .237 on the season with three homers and a .355 wOBA, but his production is starting to come around after a slow start. He has a 61.4% hard-hit rate according to Statcast, which would be the highest rate of his career if he maintains it. His average and slugging are still catching up to their expected levels based on his contact metrics, so he's a strong hold or even a buy-low target in mixed leagues if fantasy managers are too hung up on his low batting average.
