OAKLAND -- Matt Olson finished with 24 home runs in his rookie season for the A's, making it easy to forget he spent the bulk of the 2017 campaign in the Minors.
"It's a number a lot of guys would take over 162," A's manager Bob Melvin said.
The 25-year-old first baseman, who added 23 homers at the Triple-A level, teamed up with left-hander A.J. Puk to earn A's Prospects of the Year honors.
