The season of injury continues for the Atlanta Braves, and now with both of the catchers at the MLB level going down with injuries, the starting catcher for the foreseeable future will be the system’s top catching prospect William Contreras. While losing a key piece of the lineup in Travis d’Arnaud is a major blow to a struggling team, they have quite a solid backup option here in Contreras who came in at No. 4 on Talking Chop’s preseason top 30 prospects list.
William Contreras, the younger brother of Cubs all star catcher Willson Contreras, was first signed by the Braves in February of 2015 out of Venezuela.
