Matt Olson: 1B, Parkview HS (GA), 6'4", 225, L/R

A Vanderbilt commit, Olson is frequently lauded for his big power. Olson is very solidly built and has a smooth home run type swing. He only has average bat speed at best, and the ball does not really jump off of his bat, but he is short to the ball and has a surprisingly compact swing for a guy his size. He does not consistently square the ball up, but when he does, it most certainly goes. A good defensive first baseman, Olson has a strong arm, good feet and hands for a big man.
MLB Comparison: Alex Gordon
Projected Draft Position: 4th-6th Round
