Surely you've heard about the game Nick Kurtz had Friday, a 6 for 6 performance in which he homered four times. Perhaps you haven't stopped to consider the gravity of it, though. Some of these numbers may be new to you,

Nick Kurtz became the first major league rookie to hit four homers in a game, leading the Athletics to a 15-3 victory over the Houston Astros.

Kurtz is the first player in the long, storied history of the Athletics franchise to hit four homers in a game and the first rookie ever to accomplish the feat. The 2024 first-round draft pick now is the 20th player in MLB history to go deep four times in a game and the youngest by nearly three years.
