Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras was named the Silver Slugger Award winner at his position for the first time in his career, beating out Sean Murphy (Atlanta), J.T. Realmuto (Philadelphia), and Will Smith (Los Angeles).
Contreras, who came over from Atlanta in a three-team deal that saw Murphy go from Oakland to Atlanta back in December, had a breakout campaign on both sides of the ball in his first season with the Brewers.
Across a career-high 141 games, Contreras hit .289/.367/.457 with 17 homers, 78 RBIs, and six stolen bases, leading among Milwaukee’s regulars with a 125 OPS+.
