Summary
Nick Kurtz is crushing it again—just named AL Player of the Month for May after hitting .300+, slugging .600+, and driving in 26 runs with 5 homers. It’s his second time earning the honor, making him the first sophomore to do so. After a slow April, he flipped the switch, now leading the league in OBP and SLG, and is firmly in the MVP conversation alongside Aaron Judge. His hot streak includes 11 homers and 40+ RBIs, helping the A’s surge toward playoff contention. With three homers in his last four games, Kurtz is on track to lead the A’s to the postseason for the first time in years—and possibly win MVP.
