Olson leads Braves into Sunday finale with Phillies
"Traded to Atlanta in the 2021 offseason, Matt Olson has played in every single game since becoming a Brave. That's 642 as an Atlanta Brave, and his current streak of 757 is good since May 2, 2021. 2025 has been his second-best in Atlanta, behind only his monstrous 2023 (oh, the good ole' days) when he hit 54 home runs."
"The co-lefty is having his best season, hitting .247/.368/.580 (156 wRC+) has been good for nearly 4.5 wins. It's also weird because my wife grew up with him, and her brother played against him at various times. So therefore, I also know him (I do not). Schwarber is an interesting guy because he's mostly been seen as just a slugger who hits a lot of home runs, takes walks, and can't play defense."
Matt Olson has played every game since joining Atlanta, compiling a 757-game consecutive-games streak (642 with the Braves) that began May 2, 2021. He is hitting .271/.367/.460 (131 wRC+) in 2025, provides elite defense at first base, and has contributed roughly 3.5 wins so far with a projected 4–5 wins by season's end. Olson's streak ranks 12th all-time and could approach Nellie Fox's 798 or Stan Musial's 895 with continued health. Kyle Schwarber has played every Phillies game (136) this season, is hitting .247/.368/.580 (156 wRC+), has produced nearly 4.5 wins, and projects to be a high-earning free agent.
