2025 Player Outlook

This could be the last season that Contreras has eligibility behind the dish, as St. Louis is set on him being a full-time first baseman and designated hitter in 2025. Obviously, the biggest value for your fantasy team will be slotting him in behind the dish, because only a handful of fantasy catchers will play in 140+ games. Contreras missed a lot of time last year due to injury, but when he was out there, the numbers were great, highlighted by 15 home runs, a .468 SLG, and .206 ISO across 84 games. I’m not convinced that Contreras hits above .255 for a third-straight season, but in his age 33 season, 20+ home runs, 70+ RBI, and a .350+ OBP should be in the cards. Give him a slight bump in leagues that value OBP over AVG, and he should be anywhere from the fourth to eighth catcher off the board.

After starting the season 4-for-43, Contreras has been on a roll. The month of May has also been kind to him, as he’s gone 12-for-34 (.353) with three home runs and 12 RBI in 10 games. It seems the draft price on him as a catcher who was going to play every day at first base will wind up being worth it in the end.

It’s really rather baffling that Contreras is still batting fifth for the Cardinals. He’s hitting .366 with four homers and 15 RBI in his last 20 games.

Contreras turned a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead with a homer off a wholly ineffective Chase Shugart, who gave up four runs without getting an out and picking up a loss. Contreras has now homered in two-of-three games, and to say he’s looked better with the bat as of late is a considerable understatement. His .252/.327/.400 slash looks much more impressive when you consider .135/.195/.222 a few weeks ago.

Willson Contreras went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBI against the Mets on Sunday.

Contreras tied the game with a solo shot off Blade Tidwell in the second inning. Then in the fourth inning, he chased Tidwell with a two-run single that put the Cardinals up 6-2. Despite the slow start to Contreras’ season, he’s up to four home runs and 16 RBI on the year now. His .244 average and .702 OPS will take a little longer to catch up.
