Matt Olson, the first baseman for the Atlanta Braves, recently played in his 700th consecutive game, a significant milestone that only four others have reached since 1969. This streak places him amongst legendary players like Cal Ripken Jr. and Dale Murphy. Olson, who has remained active since joining the Braves in 2022, has also previously played in every game during the COVID-shortened 2020 season. Should he finish the season without missing a game, he stands to surpass notable players Murphy and Tejada on the all-time list of consecutive games played.
Olson's remarkable achievement makes him only the fifth player in Major League Baseball history to reach 700 consecutive games, underscoring his durability and work ethic.
Joining an elite group of players, Olson's streak highlights not only individual success but also his commitment to team performance as he maintains the longest active streak in MLB.
As Olson’s streak continues, he has potential to climb the ranks of consecutive games played, aiming for third place behind legendary players Murphy and Tejada.
Having started his streak with the Oakland A's and now extending it with the Braves, Olson has demonstrated resilience and an impressive consistency on the field.
