Matt Olson has been a key part of the Oakland A’s success this year. The first baseman has easily established his All Star credentials as he has been the A’s best hitter this season. His excellent season has helped the team to the top of the AL West, his steady bat helping the A’s to overcome inconsistencies elsewhere in the lineup.
