In year one with the Brewers, catcher William Contreras slots in at No. 1 in our MVBrewers rankings.
The 25-year-old backstop came over from the Braves in a three-team trade back in December 2022 after an All-Star season with Atlanta. Across 97 games with the Braves, Contreras turned in a solid .278/.354/.506 batting line with 20 homers and 45 RBIs across 97 games for an OPS+ of 136.
While his offense remained much the same with the Crew — slashing .289/.367/.457 with 17 homers and 78 RBIs across 141 games for an OPS+ of 125 — Contreras really took a step forward behind the plate.
