Reese Olson of the Detroit Tigers has emerged as a standout pitcher, allowing just one home run in his first seven starts of the 2025 season. While his overall statistics are around league average, his homer prevention is noteworthy. After giving up a solo shot to Freddie Freeman, Olson has maintained a remarkable rate of only 0.23 home runs per nine innings pitched.

His changeup has become a key weapon, ranking in the 97th percentile for effectiveness in MLB. In a recent game against the Los Angeles Angels, he showcased this pitch by achieving eight strikeouts, with a staggering 57% of them coming from swings and misses on his changeup. Olson's ability to induce ground balls is also impressive, making him a crucial asset for the Tigers as they sit atop the AL Central standings.
