5 days agoMLB.com's Brendan Samson writes that Athletics first base prospect Nick Kurtz is expected to start the season at Triple-A Las Vegas. Kurtz was the fourth overall pick in last year's draft out of Wake Forest and is considered to be the team's No. 2 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Additionally, MLB Pipeline has the 22-year-old ranked as the No. 3 first base prospect in 2025, behind only Jac Caglianone and Bryce Eldridge. Kurtz impressed in spring training, going 6-for-23 (.261) with two home runs, five RBI and four runs scored in 14 Cactus League games. In just 12 games last year after being drafted with Single-A Stockton and Double-A Midland, Kurtz hit .368 (14-for-38) with four homers and 13 RBI. When scouts compare a left-handed power hitter to Jim Thome, fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues should certainly take notice. If he stays healthy, it would be a surprise if he doesn't debut with the A's this summer.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
