## Resource

The Athletics are flying under the radar despite a .500 record, with Shea Langeliers leading All-Star voting and Nick Kurtz—elite at first base—struggling to crack the top five. Kurtz’s stellar stats, including a .290 average, ridiculous OPS, and league-leading RBIs and walks, are being ignored by fans. Add in Tyler Soderstrom’s .300+ hitting and Zack Gelof’s 19-game hitting streak, both snubbed entirely. If you love baseball, vote now—these warriors deserve their moment in the spotlight.
