    A 6-foot-1, 155-pound righthander, Olson pitches above his size, sitting in the 90-94 mph range this spring thanks to an extremely fast arm. He also gets good life on the pitch. Because of his frame and the fact that he's a prep righthander, many teams will be out on Olson entirely, but he's a solid athlete, throws strikes and also has shown an above-average curveball and changeup--though both pitches are inconsistent. A Georgia Tech commit, Olson is considered signable and might not make it to campus with several teams very much in on him.
