In 39 PAs spanning eight games, Olson put together a .400/.538/.833 line, good for a 251 wRC+, while smashing four homers and adding a double to boot. He walked nine times (including two intentional walks), to just five strikeouts. He added 0.7 fWAR to a tally that now sits at 4.5, putting him eighth in MLB among position players.
