Olwine played college baseball for Morehead State University. In 1978 and 1979, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League, where he was the winning pitcher in the league's 1979 all-star game at Fenway Park, and helped Hyannis win the league championship in both seasons.[1][2][3]
