Reminds me of what he did against us in 2024...
In game 3 of our series with Wake Forest, Kurtz went 3 for 4 with 3 hr, 7 rbi, 4 runs and a walk. He ended up homering in all three games of our series and finished going 7 for 11 with 5 hr, 9 rbi, 8 r, 1 2b, 4 bb and just 1 so.
He entered the series hitting just .247 on the season and missed some time over the prior 2-3 weeks with a shoulder injury but he clearly got things on track against us.
The big thing with him will be injuries as he had some injuries at Wake in 2023, the aforementioned shoulder injury at Wake in 2024 then had a hamstring injury last fall as a professional and then had an early season hip injury this year.
If he can manage to stay healthy, the sky is the limit for him.
