Congratulations continue to pour in for Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz after it was announced on Monday night that he won the 2025 American League Rookie of the Year Award .

Kurtz won the award via a landslide, as he became the latest to win it unanimously .

“The 28th unanimous Rookie of the Year,” shared Sarah Langs of MLB.com.

She also noted that Kurtz is just the first Athletics player to win the award since Andrew Bailey in 2009.

Kurtz was truly an undeniably bright spot on an Athletics side that won just 76 games and missed the 2025 MLB playoffs. He hit .290/.383/.619. Kurtz also posted a 1.002 OPS and a 173 OPS+ in his first season in the big leagues. His power translated into 36 home runs to go with 86 RBIs and 63 walks across 117 games and 489 plate appearances.
