Matt Olson’s epic franchise record will make Braves fans miss Freddie Freeman less

Matt Olson came into his first season with the Atlanta Braves with some massive shoes to fill. He was acquired to replace franchise star Freddie Freeman right after he helped lead the Braves to the World Series.

So far, Olson has been a fantastic addition to the Braves lineup. The 28-year-old has recorded 14 hits, 11 walks and two home runs with an unreal slash line of .412/.556/.676 through 10 games. Not only is he leading the majors in walks and the National League in OBP, but he is also making Atlanta fans miss Freeman way less.
