Nick Kurtz put up numbers in ONE GAME that no player had put up in an ENTIRE CAREER. Was this the best offensive performance of all time?

It’s entirely possible
Hell yeah. Good to see this.
I’m a fan of the A’s team, and wish every player to have success. I just hate John Fisher.
This is so good to see for Kurtz. He’s also exciting to watch.
I’ll certainly hear arguments against it, but I don’t know how you’d top it.
Nick put a Hurtz into those baseballs.
Almost certainly.
(You’d think they’d just stop pitching to him at some point)
Big Nick
Its crazy because he nearly had 5. Deep double
FJF.
Man was hitting absolute lasers to opposite field. That was amazing.
i’ll be real excited to see what he does for the yankees or dodgers in 3-4 years
Ex A’s fan!
I really like the A’s young team.
But, I will not buy anything to do with the A’s until FCKING baseball wakes up and kicks John Fisher out of MLB.
The A’s have had the worst owners over the years. All cheap and just care about making money.
Green and Witten
8/12/1966, Art Shamsky came in as a PH in the bottom of the 8th. He hit a 2 run go ahead home run. In the bottom of the 10th, he hit a game tying solo home run. In the bottom of the 11th, he hit a game tying 2 run home run.
By WPA, that was the greatest offensive contribution by a player in a single game.
Ohtani’s 50/50 game comes to mind as a recent challenger for “best offensive performance.” I was more excited about it, for sure. If only Hurtz’ double carried out for the first 5 HR game…
Colonel Kurtz
He’s literally Jim Thome Jr.
The MLB the Show moment is going to be so hard
I want to know how many people are on the list with each requirement removed individually
When was the last time someone hit 4 homers in a game?
Tatis with two grand slams in the same inning is up there
The most offensive performance of all time will always be Castellanos hitting a drive to left field, which would be a homerun.
I had him in fantasy and when I saw those numbers, I was like what! That was the biggest game I had ever remembered seeing and as you said it was! I remember one game somebody had nine RBIs but it was only with one home run a triple a double and another double guy’s name was Alfonso Soriano . There have been guys that have had 12 RBIs in a game but it hasn’t happened in 100+years 1921 was the last time.
Happy for him and the A’s but this event is their WORLD SERIES!!!!
He’s probably the Goat at this point. He should be immediately paid like the Goat. I say he deserves 100 million a year starting right now!
In one game yes. Kid could be special.
Dang. Just went nuclear.
Not comparing, just it’s a nice occasion to remember Fred Lynn’s big game as a rookie, 5 of 6, 3 HRs, Triple and a single, with 10 RBIs. He capped the year as MVP and Rookie of the Year…
Don’t forget 19 total bases. Only 2 players have done that.
Great game. He did hit that last HR off a position player though so while he had a 4 HR game I feel like it’s a step below the players who hit 4 HR against all actual pitchers.
I’ll take Shawn Green ftw
This is an awesome feat. Just hope this isn’t Tuffy Rhoades 2.0
Ohtani last year against the Marlins and Sean Green in 2002 come to mind
Should be written like this:
>=4 HR
>=5 XBH
>=6 hits
>=6 runs
>=8 RBI
Always happy for a good A’s performance. Really excited to see more of this guy
Prime trade bait for the A’s. That’s all they ever want.
4 homer games are rarer than a perfect game.
A name announcers have avoided
Just start planning to come to the Dodgers
He looks like Aegon the second in that pic
how many fantasy points is that
Stat sounds crazy, but only 20 people have hit 4hrs in a game. You knock out 99.9% of player pool with the first criteria.
