Expert Note
View More NotesHis slugging percentage dropped nearly 200 points in an underwhelming sophomore season, and yet Olson still offered 29 homers with the eighth-highest hard-hit rate (47.3%) of all qualified hitters. A higher contact (74.3%) and diminished strikeout rate (24.7%) elevates his batting-average floor to a workable mark, so he could delight 2019 investors merely by adding around five more long balls.
