One standout player for the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2024 MLB season is catcher William Contreras. Contreras has kicked off the season with impressive stats, including hitting his fourth home run against former Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Despite the team’s 6-4 loss in that game, Contreras’s contributions have been crucial to the Brewers’ 10-4 start this season, with 15 RBIs and a stolen base to his name. His batting average stands at .375, and his on-base percentage is .455.
Contreras’s performance has positioned him as a strong contender for the starting catcher position for the National League in the upcoming 2024 MLB All-Star Game. While he leads the Brewers in RBIs, Christian Yelich leads in home runs with five, highlighting Contreras’s vital role in the team’s lineup. His consistency and impact make him indispensable, and any potential injury to Contreras would significantly affect the Brewers’ offensive capabilities.
