Blistering start to spring
Olson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
Impact
The first baseman crushed a two-run shot to right field in the first inning off Carlos Rodon, his second homer in as many days and third in five contests. Olson's gone 8-for-12 in total to begin his spring, and while he's never been known as an asset in the batting average category, MLB's new limits on shifting could help the 28-year-old improve on last year's .240 average without costing him any power.

Big start to spring
Olson went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox.
Impact
He smashed a Kaleb Ort pitch off the top of the wall in right-center field in the third inning, but perhaps more encouraging for his 2023 fantasy value was his first at-bat, in which he snuck a grounder through the right side of the infield that almost certainly would have resulted in an out under the old shift rules. Olson had a .338 wOBA last season against the shift versus a .370 mark when he wasn't hitting into one, offering hope he could see his .240 batting average from 2022 rise somewhat significantly.

Hits homer, robbed of another
Olson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a double in Wednesday's loss to Miami.
Impact
Olson launched a deep shot to right field in the fourth inning, but Marlins outfielder Peyton Burdick made a great play to bring back what looked to be a home run. Undeterred, Olson responded with a double in his next at-bat before launching a two-run homer in the seventh. In his first season in Atlanta, the first baseman finished with a .240/.325/.477 slash line, 34 long balls, 103 RBI and 86 runs. He's hit at least 34 homers in three of the past four seasons, with the exception being the significantly shortened 2020 campaign.
