Braves' Matt Olson Projected Gold Glove Winner

Matt Olson is having an outstanding 2025 MLB season both offensively and defensively for the Atlanta Braves. He is projected to win the National League Gold Glove at first base, which would be the third of his career and his first since joining the Braves, thanks to elite defensive metrics like a +7 field run value, 16 defensive runs saved, and 133 assists, all career highs. Olson's durability is notable as he has played every game without taking any days off, adding to his value on the field. Offensively, Olson has recently surged, hitting his 25th home run and enjoying a hot streak with a .350 batting average and 1.145 OPS over his last 17 games, reinforcing his status as one of the top first basemen in baseball. No other Braves players are currently projected to win Gold Gloves, although shortstop Nick Allen and others have strong defensive numbers. Additionally, the New York Mets have promising rookie pitchers Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong, and Brandon Sproat, all praised for their impressive early performances, with McLean standing out with a 1.19 ERA and 40 strikeouts through six starts.
