Meet MLB’s millennial Iron Man: Braves’ Matt Olson is a modern marvel
Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson is on track to break the top 10 all-time consecutive games played record in MLB. Olson has played in 806 consecutive games, showcasing his durability and impressive performance.
Matt Olson, the Atlanta Braves first baseman, has played in 806 consecutive games, the second-longest streak this century. He is on track to break into the top 10 all-time for consecutive games played. Olson will surpass Gus Suhr's record of 822 consecutive games on May 10 at Dodger Stadium. His durability is attributed to his ideal baseball body, being long and rangy, and having a loose and whippy physique. In 2023, Olson hit 54 home runs and led the majors with 139 RBIs, also excelling as a defensive first baseman. Olson is starting the current season strong, with six home runs and 16 extra-base hits, helping the Braves improve after an 86-loss campaign in 2025.
