Olson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Scouting Report

Has tremendous plate patience, as well as great power, so he racks up both walks and dingers. Is also a quality defender at first base and a solid run producer. Can also play in the outfield. Strikes out a lot, which is to be expected, so he doesn't make a lot of contact overall (when coupled with his walks). Must prove capable of hitting for average with consistency.

Long Range Potential: Patient, powerful slugger with some upside.
