Matt Olson is simply amazing to watch. He’s one of the best sluggers in the majors, blasting dingers that soar deep into the East Bay night sky. He’s also the best defensive first baseman in the sport, with a Gold Glove and Fielding Bible award to prove it. He once again showed his value to the Oakland A’s this week, knocking the game-tying hit in the 9th inning on Sunday against the Rangers, and then launching the walk-off homer in the 10th inning on Tuesday against the Brewers.
