The AL Rookie of the Year, first baseman Nick Kurtz, made it a point to thank the Athletics organization for believing in him enough to bring him up to the big leagues just a year after being drafted.
It paid off in a big way. Kurtz put up monster numbers despite playing in just 117 games, launching 36 home runs -- four of which came in a 6-for-6, eight-RBI performance for the ages in Houston on July 25 -- while posting a 1.002 OPS.
“I want to thank the A’s organization for taking a chance on me in 2024 and bringing me up real fast,” Kurtz said. “They gave me the confidence and ability to do what I can do.”
