Olson has played exclusively in right field at Triple-A Nashville through five games this season. He is hitting .125/.263/.250 with two doubles, three walks and three strikeouts in 19 plate appearances.

Olson had been a first base prospect for the majority of his professional career, but a switch to the outfield started to take place last season, and the A's are continuing down that path in 2016. This makes Olson a bit more interesting in dynasty leagues, as his plus power and on-base skills would be a bit more valuable with outfield eligibility. The position change could also expedite his ascension to the big leagues if he can get hot at the plate.
