前辛辛那提红人队一垒手乔伊·沃托认为，奥克兰运动家队外野手尼克·库尔茨具备成为棒球界最佳击球手的潜力。沃托在周二参加MLB Now节目时表达了这一观点。
沃托将库尔茨与尤尔丹·阿尔瓦雷斯等知名球星进行了比较，并指出了这位23岁球员的飞速进步。他倾向于通过三年的周期而非单赛季的表现来评估球员。
这位运动家队的强打者目前拥有159的wRC+，并且四坏球保送率位居大联盟首位。在经历赛季初的调整期后，库尔茨展现出了强大的长打能力。
“我看到了一位有机会成为比赛中最强击球手的球员，”沃托说道。“我看到了一位有机会成为这一代特殊击球手之一的球员。”
沃托称赞了库尔茨的耐心、挥棒速度以及双向击球能力。他同时也指出，较高的三振率可能是其潜在的短板。
