Nick Kurtz

Kurtz attended the Baylor Boarding School where he ranked the No. 10 recruit from Pennsylvania (No.2 first baseman). He was an All-State selection as a senior, and chose to join Wake Forest following his high school career. Kurtz burst onto the scene as a freshman, having one of the best rookie years in Wake Forest program history. He slashed .338 with .637 slugging, 15 home runs, and 56 RBI. He was named Freshman All-American by D1Baseball, Perfect Game, Baseball America, the NCBWA and Collegiate Baseball, and Third Team All-ACC and ACC All-Freshman Team selections. Last season as a sophomore, Kurtz batted .353 while finishing second in the ACC in home runs (24), walks (63), runs scored (76) and slugging percentage (.784). He finished with 69 RBI and earned First Team All-ACC Honors. This season, Kurtz is a junior. He is off to a bit of a slow start but if he can ramp it up, matching or surpassing his numbers from last year, he has top 10 pick potential in this year's draft.
