“I think Nick’s put himself, in a very short time, in conversation about Rookie of the Year,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said in Cleveland. “We’ve got one on the team right now that’s probably a little ahead of him in Jacob [Wilson]. But it’s fun to watch these two, and it’s going to be fun to watch them over the next 64 games and the progress they’re able to make.”

Indeed, Wilson’s marvelous first half, which led to him starting the All-Star Game at shortstop for the AL, has somewhat overshadowed Kurtz’s prolonged hot streak. But make no mistake: Both are succeeding to a degree achieved by very few rookie hitters as they emerge as one of the most promising young position-player duos in baseball.
