2025 Player Outlook

Ignore Olson's 4-8 record last year, because his numbers were more impressive than that. He had a 3.53 ERA (3.64 xERA), 1.18 WHIP, and 86th percentile ground ball rate. Despite a strikeout rate that came in at the 39th percentile, he had an 87th percentile chase rate, 75th percentile whiff rate, and he leaned into his slider usage more as the year went on. His slider and changeup are his biggest putaway pitches, and both pitches registered a 42+ percent whiff rate last season. There's a lot to like about Olson heading into his age-25 season, and he could be primed for a breakout of sorts in 2025. With a strikeout rate that should be in the 23-26 percent range this season alongside a 3.75-ish ERA and 1.20 WHIP, there's a lot to like in selecting Olson as part of your fantasy rotation. Oh, also, AL Central.
