Kurtz absolutely tattooed a slider from Diamondbacks righty Tommy Henry; there was no need for this one to sneak over a corner wall.
Nick Kurtz just smoked a 444 ft solo shot to straightaway center field. 110.3 mph exit velo.

Kurz’s homer was actually his first extra base hit in preseason play so far.
