Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson didn't live up to his 2023 season in the first half, but he can be the X-Factor to carry Atlanta.
“Going home. wants us all to have frickin’ four days," Seitzer told Dave O'Brien of the Athletic. "These guys need a break, mentally as much as physically. So, that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to take a break.”
The statement above is evident, considering that the Atlanta offense, which was once a powerhouse of long bombs the past two seasons, is not cut of the same cloth in 2024. One of the most significant differences in the team’s offense is the production of their first baseman, who made the All-Star game last year but did not this year.
“Obviously, you want to be in and have that honor,” he said. “But having a little decompress time is good as well,”Matt Olson turned in one of the best plays I've seen by any first basemen – making sure to get a critical out and then somehow getting that throw off to home, all in one fluid motion.However, the former Oakland Athletic is not yet seeing the same success with his bat. Considering that he had the best season of his career last year, hitting 54 home runs with 139 RBI’s.
Hitting between two of the league’s hottest hitters should help. Designated hitter Marcell Ozuna hits behind Olson and is having one of the best seasons of his career. Additionally, in the three spot isShould Olson be able to get things going, the middle of the Atlanta Braves lineup becomes a gauntlet for every opposing pitcher. He has shown flashes this season; when he has, it just makes the offense lethal.
