The game is over. The competition for the Rookie of the Year in the American League (AL) in the Major League has no longer been meaningful.

Athletics slugger first baseman Nick Kurtz is almost certain to be the owner of the award. It's almost definitive unless Kurtz suddenly stops the season with an injury. This is because he is breaking Major League records with a powerful hit. Thanks to such performances, Kurtz swept both the AL July 'Player of the Month' and 'New Impression'.

The Major League Baseball secretariat officially announced on the 5th (Korea time) 'Curtz was named the AL July Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month' Due to the overwhelming record, there can be no room for disagreement itself.

Kurtz appeared in 23 games in July, hitting 0.395 (34 hits in 86 at-bats) with 11 homers, 24 runs and 27 RBIs. On top of that, the on-base percentage was 0.480, and the slugging percentage was 0.953. The sum of the two indicators, OPS, is as much as 1.433.

This crazy performance led to the AL batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, double or more long balls (25), and no-bat (82). Home runs are tied for first place, second place for the most hits, and second place for the most runs scored. Once again, Kurtz is a rookie. It's an incredible performance.

Kurtz, in particular, came out as the second designated hitter against the Houston Astros on the 26th and hit as many as four home runs, making six hits (4 home runs) and six runs and eight RBIs in six at-bats. It was the 20th home run in Major League history and the first rookie to have four home runs in one game.

Kurtz set another record. He won the Rookie of the Year award with the player of the month in July, becoming the 10th record holder in Major League history. Ryan Bronn (July 2007), Buster Posey (July 2010), Mike Trout (July 2012), Yasiel Puig (June 2013), Jose Abreu (April 2014 and July 2016), Gary Sanchez (August 2016), Aaron Judge (June 2017 and September 2019), Artides Aquino (August 2019), and Wyatt Langford (September 2024). In addition, he will be the first rookie of the month to receive the Player of the Month Award.

Kurtz, born in 2003, was drafted by the Athletics with the No. 4 pick in the first round of the 2024 rookie draft. Since his big league debut this year, he has 80 hits, 23 home runs, 49 runs, 61 RBIs and a batting average of 0.304 OPS 1.030 in 73 games. The AL Rookie of the Year seems to be more than 99% likely to receive Kurtz.

Meanwhile, Kyle Stowers (Miami Marlins) was chosen as National League Player of the Month. The NL Rookie of the Month was won by Isaac Collins of the Milwaukee Brewers.
