Willson Contreras is walking the walk

Willson Contreras is hitting like 2018 never even happened.

He showed up to camp this spring determined to rebound, wearing a shirt that said "Don't believe me, just watch." He admitted he got complacent last season and came out of the routine and work ethic that had gotten him to the big leagues, vowing to avoid similar such mistakes this year.

He talked the talk and now he's walking the walk.

Contreras was already off to a solid start even before he hit a pair of homers measured at a combined 903 feet during Friday afternoon's 5-1 victory.
