## Resource

Matt Olson’s hitting slump is real — batting average at .249, OBP+SLG at its lowest since spring — but don’t let that fool you: he’s still leading the Braves in homers (37) and runs scored (94), even through a brutal August. Struggling with timing and contact, he’s been late on fastballs and early on off-speed pitches, but refuses to ask for a day off — not when his team needs him most. With 927 straight games played and a history of clutch September/October power, Olson is dialed in for the finish, grinding through the rough patch day by day, hoping to ignite just in time for the NL East race.
