A's Podcast

In this episode Dallas sits down with Athletics’ unanimous Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz to break down his historic rise to the Big Leagues! Nick dives into the surreal moment he got "the call" from Fran Riordan, the mental approach behind his massive power surge in 2025, and what was going through his head during that legendary 4-homer night in Houston. They also discuss his move to the leadoff spot, the impact of having a veteran like Brent Rooker in the clubhouse, and why this young A’s core is ready to take the next step toward winning baseball.
