Overview
- Olson appeared in his 741st straight game for the Atlanta Braves, surpassing Dale Murphy for the franchise mark while his overall streak reached 875 games, ninth in Major League history.
- Braves manager Walt Weiss said Olson has played through significant injuries, including broken bones, and credited mental toughness and his physical build for sustaining the streak.
- Olson attributes his availability mindset to how he was raised and to watching Marcus Semien in Oakland, and he says being penciled into the lineup eases pressure and improves his play.
- The streak has coincided with some of Olson's most productive seasons since he joined Atlanta before the 2022 season, helping him remain one of baseball's premier power hitters.
- Olson sits 21 games short of passing Stan Musial for eighth all-time, a near-term milestone that depends on continued health and managerial trust in his everyday role.
