The 6-foot-4, 210-pound 2018 grad was a pleasant surprise in Calgary filling up the top categories stat sheet including best fastball on the mound at 84 mph. He definitely looks the part of a college player as far as build and athleticism. Broad shoulders, massive forearms and legs, he is not a soft 210. Olson showed his bat speed and raw power off during his round of BP, still a lot of pop being left at the dish in his lower half. Hands start high with slight pause in load, keeps his hands inside the ball finishing with one hand. Scary potential for plus power here and a lot of fun for a good hitting coach. The Red Deer product was impressive on the mound as well. He is very athletic considering his frame, effortless and relatively clean arm action along with minimal use of lower half shows that Olson projects to be an easy 90 mph guy.
INF Velocity: 75
Exit Velocity: 90
40 Yard-Dash: 4.98
FB Velocity: 79-84
CB Velocity: 61-63
CH Velocity: 71-72
