Top 10 NCAA baseball players entering the 2024 season
2. Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest
The Demon Deacons are the most talented team in the country and that is highlighted by four of their players making the Golden Spikes Award preseason watch list. Kurtz leads the pack. The left-handed slugger is on the watch list for a second year in a row after slashing .353/.527/.784 in 2023 with 24 home runs and 76 runs scored. Kurtz is a candidate to be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft in July.
Nick Kurtz deletes this baseball for his 2nd home run of the night to all but seal a series-opening win for the Demon Deacons. The extension Kurtz gets in his swing thanks to his long levers is incredibly impressive.
