"He's been the Atlanta Braves most consistent player in 2025 but it took first baseman Matt Olson until the second week of September to earn his first 2025 Battery Power Braves Player of the Week Award. It has been a quietly effective season for Olson - his power numbers aren't at the level as they have been for most of his career - but he finds himself in the top 10"
"Still the active leader in consecutive games played, Olson's offensive production has started yielding more noticeable results going back to August. This past week, with the team's most recent offensive stand-outs coming back to earth - Jurickson Profar, Ozzie Albies, Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin have all cooled off - Olson's consistency catapulted him to the top of the team's offensive performers."
"Offensively, it wasn't the best-of-weeks for the Braves, with Marcell Ozuna and Ronald Acuña, Jr. being the only other regular players with above-average production. Congratulations to veteran catcher Sandy Léon who got the start on Sunday and hit his first big league home run since 2021. Otherwise, it was the dregs. On the mound, the team wasn't much better - they book-ended wins going 2-4 for the week - for good reason."
Matt Olson has been the Atlanta Braves' most consistent player in 2025 and received the team's first Battery Power Braves Player of the Week Award in early September. His season has been quietly effective, with power totals below career norms but top-10 placement across several National League offensive categories and a chance to lead the league in doubles. Olson remains the active leader in consecutive games played and produced more noticeable offense beginning in August. Several regulars cooled while Olson's steadiness stood out. Sandy León hit his first big-league homer since 2021, and relievers Kinley, Iglesias, Johnson and Lee each posted three scoreless appearances.
