2023 Fantasy Outlook
If we sort Double-A pitchers with 60-plus innings by K-BB%, Olson ranks fifth, behind the likes of Brandon Pfaadt and Eury Perez and directly ahead of Gavin Stone and Kyle Harrison. Scouts seem split on the quality of his stuff and whether he has enough command to start, so Olson is never ranked near those guys on prospect lists, but it's an interesting profile, given the ease of entry into Detroit's rotation. He is on the 40-man roster and turns 24 in July, so Olson could make his big-league debut this summer, perhaps as a swingman or long reliever. Read Past Outlooks
Solid in no-decision
Olson, serving as the primary pitcher following an inning from Tyler Holton, allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings in Thursday's 3-2 loss against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Olson's certainly held his own through his first two big-league outings -- he's allowed three runs on five hits in 10 innings. The 23-year-old right-hander struggled to a 6.38 ERA in Triple-A this season, so there's some risk here. However, Olson should at least get an extended look in the majors while the Tigers deal with a myriad of injuries in their starting rotation. He'd line up for a tough home matchup with Atlanta in his next outing.
