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, a rookie for the Oakland Athletics, scripted his name in the Major League Baseball ( MLB) record books on Friday (July 25). The 22-year-old baseman became the first rookie ever to hit four home runs in a single game. This remarkable performance has sparked widespread excitement about Kurtz as a rising star in baseball.

Among first basemen, Kurtz is tied for fourth in home runs, funnily enough with Matt Olson and Tyler Soderstrom with 18 on the year. Topping the leaderboard is Pete Alonso of the Mets with 21, while Detroit's Spencer Torkelson is right there with him. One back of that duo is Michael Busch of the Chicago Cubs.
