Drafted in the 21st round (631st overall) by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2015.
View Draft Report
Olczak can look like a true shutdown reliever on the right day. He throws in the low 90s with late life, and can touch 93 mph. His breaking ball was more vertical early in the year, and showed more horizontal shape towards the end of the season, and it could develop into an average pitch. Olczak's raw stuff is outstanding, but he battled command issues this spring. When he's able to hit his spots, Olczak has the makings of a strong middle reliever. He could be a good value later in the draft, or he could return to N.C. State for his senior year.
