Nick Kurtz Continues Strong Month of May, Drives in Five on Tuesday
Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz continued to swing the bat well in May in the team's 14-6 blowout victory over the hosting Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a double, season-high five RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base to boost his season average to .276 and his OPS to .919. Kurtz is now hitting .328 (21-for-64) with three long balls, five doubles, a triple, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 17 games across 77 plate appearances in May to boost his season slash line to .276/.431/.488 with a .919 OPS. The 23-year-old former fourth overall pick out of Wake Forest in 2024 has eight home runs on the season and has added 34 RBI, 31 runs scored, and six stolen bases in his 170 at-bats in 2026. Kurtz is a monster at first base and had a ridiculous 36 home runs and 86 RBI in 117 games in his first big-league season with the A's in 2025. He's a must-start in traditional fantasy leagues every day he's in the lineup.
