Historic Catcher Award
William Contreras became the eighth catcher to win World Series MVP after batting.381 for the Brewers. He threw out four base stealers and succeeded on 10 of 13 appeals during the first Series that used the automated ball-strike system. The 28-year-old added a run-scoring double in the 4-1 clincher in Game 5.
Season and International Success
A three-time All-Star, Contreras hit.270 with 18 homers and a career-best 94 RBIs as Milwaukee captured its fourth straight NL Central title. He led the majors with 185 challenges and 105 overturns in the regular season before going 22 of 33 in the postseason. Contreras also helped Venezuela win its first World Baseball Classic in March, going 0-for-13, then joined teammates Jackson Chourio and Antonio Senzatela as the latest players to add a World Series ring the same year.
Teammate Contributions
Cooper Pratt set a Series rookie record with six straight hits and matched Gil McDougald's 1951 mark with seven RBIs. Chourio finished 11-for-24. Jacob Misiorowski went 2-0 with one run allowed in 10⅔ innings, while Aaron Ashby threw 5⅔ scoreless innings, recorded a save and struck out nine.
