## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Stan Olason

Stan is one of those players who is a great "glue guy", he can go anywhere you need him, and do any job you ask of him. Stan's bat has some surprising pop in it, with 80/100 batting power and 56 contact. He's got decent speed at 64. In the field, he's a solid fielder, with 72 coordination and 77 throwing strength. Perhaps the best feature of Stan is his perfect 100 stamina. He'll be able to go on longer than other kids. This good stamina rating also inflates his pitching rating a bit.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, but Stan Olafson was used as an AI stand-in for custom player Ned Sommers of the Red Sox.

#### Season 4

In Stan's first BBL season, he was drafted 75th overall in the 4th round by coach areyoutyler of the Bombers. He played catcher for the AI Bombers and was a solid member of the team. He was tied for second in batting average on the team at 0.620.

#### Season 5

The next season, Stan was drafted 82nd overall in the 4th round by coach Nick Foles is my dad of the Athletics. Stan stepped it up even more this season, batting 0.662, stealing 20 bases, and scoring 37 runs. The A's won the Season 5 World Series.

#### Season 6

As word grew of Stan's usefulness, he rose up in the draft, taken with the 61st pick in the 3rd round by coach Yurya of the Diamondbacks. His numbers took a slight hit, but he was right in the thick of the Diamondbacks' solid lineup.

#### Season 7
