Matt Olson’s Historic Power Surge | Atlanta Braves News

Matt Olson is on track for a historic season, already tied for fourth in homers with 31 and hitting one in three straight games — and he’s not slowing down. With 50 games left, he’s chasing his second 50-homer campaign in four years, while powering the Braves’ recent sweep of the Nationals. Manager Walt Weiss called him one of the best players in baseball — for his offense, defense, and relentless presence. At 894 games played straight since May 2021, Olson is closing in on a legendary durability streak, proving he’s built different. He’s been crushing homers since the All-Star break, fueling Atlanta’s division lead. Can he hit 19 more? He did it before — smashing 25 in a similar stretch last year. With this momentum and team support, history might be just around the corner. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
