Athletics’ Nick Kurtz calls game with insane grab vs. Mariners

Seattle Mariners

The Athletics may be deep in a rebuild, but their young cornerstone continues to deliver headline moments. On Tuesday night, rookie phenom Nick Kurtz flashed his defensive brilliance to seal a 6-1 win over the Seattle Mariners, making a game-ending diving grab that left fans and teammates stunned. With two outs in the top of the ninth and Seattle’s JP Crawford at the plate facing a 2-2 count, Merrill Kelly delivered a pitch that was roped down the first-base line. Kurtz, positioned perfectly, leapt to his right and fully extended to snatch the liner out of the air, ending the game in highlight-reel fashion.
