GDT 9-15: Braves in DC

[UNCBlue012]

Matt Olson is on another level right now. His heaters are always absurd but this has been next level. I think this is the best of his career. He was obviously better in total in 2023, but he's doing it on a different level right now.

On the other side, Baldwin is pretty much wrapping up ROTY for Horton

21.9 FF to 16.8 MO
Olson about to notch his first winning season vs FF

No 30 homerun seasons in that span and an overall ISO below .200. For some folks around here those seem to be must haves for a 1B.

Olson gonna get to 5 fWAR on the year?

FF is a totally different hitter. Here's the breakdown in the sample...

BA: .310 to .262, FF
OBP: .392 to .355, FF
SLG: .515 to .506, FF
Woba: .385 to .367, FF
Wrc+: 149 to 135, FF
ISO: .244 to .204, MO (FF wasn't below .200)

Oh so now those other stats matter

Btw… I’m just giving ya a hard time. Both players are very good. Freddie is a HOF and Matt Olson is merely an all star. We should all come to peace with that.

Is Olson going to win the Silver Slugger over Alonso?

Is Olson going to win the Silver Slugger over Alonso?

No. That's award, imo, that should skew towards HR and RBI if their overall offensive profile are similar. Alonso is at a 137 wrc+ compared to 139 from Olson but has him beat by a good margin in HR and RBI.

This team has a 9-2 run in their last 11 games left in them, don't they?
