Reese Olson's changeup has quickly become one of best pitches in MLB for Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers starter Reese Olson has given up only one home run this season, in part because of a changeup that has developed into an elite pitch.

Reese Olson's changeup has quickly become one of best pitches in MLB for Detroit Tigers.
Freep
Olson has always been skilled at keeping the ball in the ballpark. In his first season in 2023, he allowed 1.22 home runs per nine innings, right around the major-league average of 1.23 per nine. He more than halved that rate in 2024, allowing only 0.56 home runs per nine. And so far in 2025 he's halved that rate once again, down to 0.23 per nine.
Only two qualified American League starters have a better home run rate than Olson so far in 2025: Tyler Mahle of the Texas Rangers (who hasn't given up a home run over 37⅔ innings pitched) and Hunter Brown of the Houston Astros. Jack Flaherty, who is one spot ahead of Olson in the Tigers' rotation, has already given up five home runs in seven starts compared to Olson's one, while ace Tarik Skubal has given up four.
