Olson went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After crossing the plate with the game's first run in the bottom of the first inning, Olson gave his squad some insurance in the seventh with a two-run double. The first baseman is quickly making Atlanta fans feel better about the departure of Freddie Freeman, as Olson is slashing .389/.500/.630 with two homers, four RBI and 10 runs through his first 15 games of 2022.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

While Freddie Freeman was busy slugging his first homer with Los Angeles, his replacement at first base for Atlanta was having a pretty good night of his own. Olson has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, boosting his slash line through 12 games to .452/.566/.714, and while his only two RBI on the season have come on his own solo shots, it's only a matter of time until those hits turn into bigger production.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

He took Nick Martinez deep in the fifth inning, Olson's second homer of the season. The first baseman has five multi-hit performances through his first 10 games with Atlanta and has an 11:8 BB:K, resulting in a .412/.556/.676 slash line, but Olson curiously isn't driving in many runs -- his only RBI so far have come on his two solo shots.

Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Olson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seem fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.

Olson went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He wasn't able to turn the knocks into production despite a good night overall for the Atlanta offense, but the runs and RBI will come for Olson. The 28-year-old reached triple digits in each category last season in a much less potent Oakland attack, and Olson has reached base five times in his first two games with his new club.

Olson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

He blasted a fourth-inning offering from JT Chargois out to right-center field for his first homer of the spring. Olson is batting .263 (5-for-19) with a sharp 4:3 BB:K, and with his power stroke coming around he appears just about ready for Opening Day. The 28-year-old, picked up from the A's in the offseason to replace Freddie Freeman, is coming off a career-best campaign in which he slugged 39 homers and 111 RBI.

Olson signed an eight-year, $168 million extension with Atlanta on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta seemed unwilling to pay the market rate to bring back franchise icon Freddie Freeman, but they're evidently willing to pay top dollar to keep Olson in town through 2029 after acquiring him from Oakland in exchange for four prospects Monday. Olson is 4.5 younger than Freeman and is in a similar tier of elite talents at first base. Last season was a breakout year for him, at least in terms of making contact, as his 16.8 percent strikeout rate was nearly 10 points lower than the career 26.1 percent mark he carried into the season. He didn't sacrifice any power to get there, homering 39 times, and he could easily push for his first 40-homer campaign this season now that he's no longer calling the pitcher-friendly Oakland Coliseum home.

Atlanta acquired Olson from the Athletics on Monday in exchange for outfielder Cristian Pache, catcher Shea Langeliers and pitching prospects Joey Estes and Ryan Cusick, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just minutes before Passan's report, Buster Olney of ESPN relayed that the Yankees and Dodgers were moving aggressively to acquire Olson, but the rebuilding Athletics apparently found Atlanta's offer the most enticing. The addition of Olson fills a major hole at first base for Atlanta, which had been vacant since longtime franchise cornerstone Freddie Freeman hit free agency earlier in the winter. The move likely confirms that Freeman will be playing elsewhere in 2022, but Olson is about as high quality of a replacement as Atlanta could have found. Not only did the 27-year-old get on base at a .371 clip while mashing a career-high 37 home runs in 2021, but the two-time Gold Glove winner also offered premium defense at first base. With the move from Oakland to Atlanta, Olson not only finds himself in a better lineup, but he'll also benefit from the change in his home park.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in Friday's 8-6 win against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Olson tagged Houston starter Framber Valdez for 418-foot blast to right in the sixth inning but failed to produce in his other four at-bats. The long ball gives the slugging first baseman 39 on the season which brings him to a tie with Aaron Judge for sixth in MLB.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a double and four RBI in Friday's 14-2 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Olson doubled off Seth Martinez in the eighth inning, knocking in three runs. It was his fourth game this season with four RBI and he is batting .302 with six homers in his last 14 games. The 27-year-old is slashing .274/.371/.549 with 38 long balls, 109 RBI and 99 runs scored in 638 plate appearances this season.
