When it comes to sluggers in the game of baseball, their contracts generally don't age particularly well. As players get older, they lose a bit of strength and their bat speed generally declines leading to them having a tough time dealing with velocity and their contact rates go down. When your value is hitting the ball hard and getting on base since pitchers don't want to let you hit the ball hard, things go south in a hurry when your bat slows down and the other team knows it. However, for Atlanta Braves slugger Matt Olson, it feel as though his deal with age better than most.
