Ranking the projected starting American League first basemen

1

Matt Olson, Athletics

Olson (turns 25 on March 29) hit 24 home runs in just 59 games, for the Athletics in 2017. He finished fourth in American League Rookie of the Year voting. He didn't quite sustain that level of power last season but still clocked 29 homers and 33 doubles. Excellent glove work at first base earned him his first Gold Glove in 2018.
