Gregg Olson Stats

Gregg Olson was born on Tuesday, October 11, 1966, in Scribner, Nebraska. Olson was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 2, 1988, with the Baltimore Orioles. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Gregg Olson baseball stats page.

"(Gregg) Olson came in like wildfire as a reliever in the late 1980s, mowing down everything in his path with a blazing fastball and devastating curve. But after a quick rise to the status of top echelon closer, an injury to Olson's elbow wrecked his efficiency." - Sheldon Stewart in the Baseball Library
