Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson is a 10-year MLB veteran and is one of the best offensive players in the league at his position.
In the first inning of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins, Olson hit a RBI double off of Justin Topa that scored Alex Verdugo. The swing didn't just score a run, though. It marked the 1,000th hit of Olson's career.
Olson had a special moment atop second base at Truist Park, and fans celebrated the major milestone with raucous applause. The 31-year-old has become a fan favorite in Atlanta since replacing franchise legend Freddie Freeman in 2022.
