Matt Olson's current tear with A's reminiscent of 2017 rookie season

To say that Matt Olson is locked in right now would be a serious understatement.

Friday night, the A's first baseman went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a single, a walk, and five RBI, as Oakland hammered the Angels, 7-2.

Olson has now homered three times in his last two games, and four times in his last four. The 25-year-old leads the American League with 16 round-trippers since May 12, a span of just 43 games. That would translate to 60 home runs over the course of a 162-game season.

"I'm just seeing it well right now, staying within the zone, staying within myself," Olson told NBC Sports California.
