BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
The Tigers young righty debuted on Friday night and pitched quite well, delivering six innings of two-hit, two-run ball with six strikeouts. The most interesting thing about Olson is that he came out confidently with his slider, throwing it a start-high 30 times and earning a sweet 20% SwStr% on the pitch.
The Stuff+ marks check out on the pitch, as it graded quite well in that debut start.
The sinker and four-seamer seem to be average at best, and they didn't perform well in his debut, rarely going for a strike and not earning a single whiff on 41 pitches. However, you don't need an overwhelming fastball if you have an elite slider like he does, so any kind of small improvements there might be enough to warrant him being owned in plenty of fantasy leagues. Right now, I'm saving him for deep leagues - but we'll keep a close eye on him in his next few starts.
