Is Nick Kurtz the Dark Horse Threatening to Upend the AL Rookie of the Year Race?
Kurtz did his best to describe what it’s like to be so locked in: “It’s probably one of the best feelings, knowing when you’re up there — honestly, it doesn’t matter whether you get a hit or not — but I know what I’m feeling in my swing, I know exactly where [the bat] is going. I’m seeing the ball — it’s huge right now. It’s kind of what you dream about.”
“It amazes me,” said Rooker, who was also a first-round pick out of college but didn’t blossom into an impact big-league bat until his age-28 season. “I was a very, very good college player. And if you had thrown me in the big leagues at 22, I would’ve absolutely had no chance.”
