Nick Kurtz makes MLB history in just 65 games, powering the A’s with a red-hot bat and pushing hard for AL Rookie of the Year honors.
One night after a performance for the ages from Nick Kurtz, all eyes were on the Athletics rookie first baseman Saturday night to see what he might have in store for an encore.
The 22-year-old rookie sensation was selected fourth overall by the Athletics just over a year ago in the 2024 MLB Draft. Kurtz was called up to the major leagues quickly due to his exceptional performance in the minor leagues and his advanced offensive approach, leading to the Athletics believing in his success at the major-league level.
The Athletics have a pair of amazing rookies on their roster, and unfortunately they both can't win American League Rookie of the Year.
