3 years agoAtlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson has been generating a ton of hard contact out of the gate this year. He currently has a 51.4% hard-hit rate to go along with a 93.4 mph average exit velocity. His 116.8 mph max exit velocity ranks in the 99th percentile of the league. Across 27 games, the 28-year-old has a .283/.395/.485 slash line, three home runs, 11 RBI and 13 runs. His lack of home runs could be attributed to his average launch angle, which is currently sitting at 6.8 degrees, down from his career average of 17.4 degrees. Expect to see him start getting under balls more consistently soon, and once he does, the homers will follow.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
