View Draft Report
Junior college players were granted an extra year of eligibility because of the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, and Olsen took advantage of his third season at juco powerhouse Central Arizona. Named pitcher of the year for the Arizona jucos, Olsen finished the year with a 13-0 record, 2.13 ERA and 133 strikeouts and 30 walks in 88.2 innings. He was heavily scouted all season, with scouts lauding the shorter righthander for his bulldog mentality and competitive demeanor, pitching with power despite his shorter stature. Olsen delivers a fastball sitting 92-94 mph, touching as high as 96, and mixes in a curveball, slider and changeup. The curve has good bite, sitting 78-81 mph. Originally slated to attend Arizona after high school, Olsen now has a commitment to Arizona State. Considered to be very signable, he may never put on a Sun Devil uniform, likely getting drafted somewhere in the sixth-to-10th-round range.
