Matt Olson hitting a home run has been a daily occurrence for nearly a week and he has now set the record for most home runs in September by a rookie. It is unusual to see a rookie jump from the minor leagues the Major League baseball and perform better. Cody Bellinger and Rhys Hoskins are examples from this season, but Olson just might be the best of the three. Alex did an excellent job putting Olson’s home runs in context.
Since Olson was called up to Oakland for good on August 8th he has the 6th highest average-exit velocity in among hitters with at least 75 batted-ball events.
