Detroit Tigers new RHP Reese Olson: Meet young pitcher enjoying a strong month

The Detroit Tigers couldn't stay completely still at the 2021 MLB trade deadline.

Amid a fairly competitive season, but one that won't end in a playoff berth, the Tigers have been rather inactive on the trade market. But a few hours before Friday's trade deadline, the Tigers gained a little farm system depth.

Reese Olson, a right-handed minor leaguer, comes to the organization from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for left-handed reliever Daniel Norris.

Who is Reese Olson?

Glad you asked. Olson, who turns 22 on Saturday, is a high-strikeout pitcher who's been on a hot streak for High-A Wisconsin.
