What has gone wrong with Braves’ Matt Olson after home run leading season?

At this time last year, the Atlanta Braves were just starting their historic season. They were racking up runs and homers, putting up staggering offensive numbers that would end up being team highs. One player who had a lot to do with that was first baseman Matt Olson, who led the league in home runs in 2023. This season, not only has Olson not found his power swing, but he hasn't found much of a swing at all.

In the first 36 games last year, Olson had already launched 11 home runs to go along with 34 hits in 165 plate appearances.
