Olson went 3-for-10 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Nationals.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 12-1 rout over the Marlins.

Scouting Report

Has tremendous plate patience, as well as great power, so he racks up both walks and dingers. Is also a quality defender at first base and a solid run producer. Can also play in the outfield. Strikes out a lot, which is to be expected, so he doesn't make a lot of contact overall (when coupled with his walks). Must prove capable of hitting for average with consistency.

Long Range Potential: Patient, powerful slugger with some upside.
