## Resource

Oakland’s Nick Kurtz is dominating MLB with pitchers walking him like Barry Bonds—64 walks through Wednesday, including 8 intentional ones—yet he’s still crushing it with 15 homers and 49 RBIs, boasting a .438 OBP. He’s embraced the walk since college, knowing it’s a weapon for his team, especially with elite hitters around him. As the A’s prepare for their 2028 Vegas move, Kurtz’s power is already wowing future fans, hitting multiple homers in Triple-A games and reaching base in 8 of his last 9 contests. At just 23, he’s exceeded expectations since being drafted, turning every opportunity—walk or hit—into a threat. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
