Chase Olson brings swing-and-miss relief to Nebraska’s bullpen
In the 2026 season, Chase Olson has already shown he can miss bats in short bursts, including a 1.1-inning outing with 3 strikeouts and no walks against Grand Canyon and another scoreless inning against Creighton, a nice little “you blinked and he was gone” profile for Nebraska’s staff[1][2][3]. His differentiators are strike-throwing and poise: Nebraska’s own roster notes him as a former all-state arm who went 7-1 with a 0.98 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 50 innings in high school, which fits the feel of a pitcher who attacks rather than tiptoes[3]. For a team, that usually means usable left-handed innings, especially if you want a calm, competitive arm with some swing-and-miss upside[1][12].
