Matt Olson has been an integral part of the Oakland A’s offense since he arrived in the majors to stay in 2017. He has been a feared power hitter in that time, belting 103 homers as he established himself as one of the better players in the A’s lineup. Yet, as productive as the A’s first baseman has been, the team is still waiting for that breakout season.
