10/14/18 - Imposing 6-foot-6, 200-pound frame. Really stood out as a projectable arm in our first look at him. Olson used a long arm action, high 3/4 slot and short stride to drive his 83-85 mph fastball downhill, flashing hard sink at times. His 77-79 mph changeup is his most refined secondary offering at present, thrown confidently with fastball arm speed and producing some late tumbling action. The breaking pitch varied from a short cutter-type action to a true curveball at 71-74 mph and with continued refinement should develop into a quality third offering. Olson established himself as a definite follow come spring time ,with a potentially very high ceiling.
