Going around the Oakland A's clubhouse on Monday, a number of former high draftees provided similar advice for the A's latest draft class
Nick Kurtz official, and he was provided a locker in the clubhouse, took batting practice, and spoke with the media. It was a full day, but as Kurtz put it, "this is what you dream of as a kid.", a former fourth overall pick himself, about some of the advice he'd have for the A's first rounder. His keys were to enjoy this year, and also to trust what he does, because that's what got him drafted in the first place.
Both Tyler Nevin and Shea Langeliers talked about getting their bodies ready for the increase in the number of games they'd be playing in pro ball, after playing three to four games per week in college. Nevin said, "They play college games, they play summer ball, but there's a lot more off-days in between."
Kyle Muller said that in his first offseason, he attempted to change everything and that did not go well for him the following year. "That first off-season I was like I'm going to get better at this, this, this, and this, which is great. But when you do all of them, you're a jack of all trades and a master of none. I didn't train the right way, and it took me the whole season to go back.
Routine was also a word that was mentioned quite often around the room, but with the caveat that recently drafted players likely won't know what their routine will need to be until they go through a couple of off-seasons.
