Summary
Nick Kurtz is rewriting Athletics history with a 48-game on-base streak, tying Mark McGwire for the franchise’s longest single-season mark—and he’s done it by reaching base in every game. The 23-year-old fourth-round draft pick is batting .300+, smacking eight homers, and leading MLB in OBP with walk totals that haven’t been seen in decades. Teammates call his power “insane,” managers compare his plate discipline to Rickey Henderson, and pitchers are walking him rather than risk a hit. Already climbing all-time Athletics leaderboards and setting records for his age group, Kurtz is poised to break McGwire’s overall streak—and opposing teams are already scared to face him.
