NICK KURTZ -1B (Wake Forest) 2024 MLB Draft TOP Prospect Video Profile

A two-way player out of High School, Nick Kurtz made it clear very quickly at Wake Forest that hitting was his game. He quickly forced his way into the lineup as a freshman and ended up hitting .338 with 15 bombs. From there, he only got better and was soon considered a possible first overall pick. He combines elite bat speed, a launch angle made for home runs and an incredible knowledge of the strike zone to put up insane numbers. In 2023, Kurtz smashed 24 bombs and followed it up with 22 more this year. For the most part, he avoids chasing and worked an incredible 78 walks this year and 189 for his career, more walks than strikeouts. He is also a vacuum cleaner at first base and has a plus arm that was good enough to get him recruited as a pitcher out of High School. The only tool that isn’t elite is his speed, but he is an intelligent baserunner who stole 11 bases and was never caught. He has a high baseball IQ, impressive size, nearly every tool in spades and basically zero offensive weaknesses. Kurtz has the ceiling of an absolute superstar and it’s hard to envision him being anything less than a productive everyday player in the big leagues.

My only concern with kurtz is the power transferring. Wake forest field is 300 down the line and a small park
