The Milwaukee Brewers’ 2025 season ended in disappointment after being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. However, much of the core remains intact heading into 2026, including catcher William Contreras.

The 27-year-old backstop just completed his third season in Milwaukee after arriving ahead of the 2023 campaign. While Contreras had a down year by his standards, he still provided value, posting a .260 batting average, .355 on-base percentage, .754 OPS, 17 home runs, and 66 RBIs across 150 games.

It is worth noting that he played the majority of the season with a fractured left middle finger, an injury sustained in May that ultimately will require surgery this offseason.
