Manager Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers praised catcher William Contreras, stating that he remains underrated after the team's 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second game of the National League Championship Series. Contreras contributed significantly to the win with a home run, three RBIs, and a crucial 436-foot solo shot that tied the game in the fifth inning.
The Brewers now lead the series 2-0, a first in franchise history. Murphy noted that Contreras is "ticked" when he has to DH instead of catching, as he is "underrated" and craves excellence. Despite suffering a fractured middle finger in May 2025, Contreras continued to perform at an elite level, presenting a superior defense and handling pitchers from four or five different arms.
Acquired from the Atlanta Braves during a trade with the Athletics in 2022, Contreras' impact is evident as the Brewers' bullpen ERA during the postseason stands at an impressive 0.31.
