Oakland Athletics players sit in the dugout while playing the Baltimore Orioles during the sixth inning of their MLB game at the Coliseum in Oakland, Calif., on Friday, July 5, 2024. The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Oakland Athletics 3-2. Oakland selected Wake Forest’s Nick Kurtz on Sunday with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 Major League Baseball draft. Kurtz, a 21-year-old first baseman, slashed .306/.531/.763 in his junior season with the Demon Deacons.
The A’s were given the No. 4 pick in the MLB draft despite finishing with the worst record in Major League Baseball at 50-112. The Cleveland Guardians, who finished 76-86, won the MLB Draft Lottery and the No. 1 overall pick despite entering with just a 2% chance to win. The No. 4 pick is the A’s highest since they selected left-handed pitcher Mark Mulder No. 2 overall out of Michigan State University in 1998. Mulder made All-Star teams with Oakland in 2003 and 2004 and led the American League with 21 wins in 2001.
The MLB draft continues on Monday and Tuesday. Rounds 3-10 will take place on Monday, and rounds 11-20 will be held on Tuesday.Dear Abby: My unexpected day off work turned into a big problemMiss Manners: Should I tell my carpool kids what their parents won't?Harriette Cole: My in-laws insist on this wedding rule, and I think I know why
