William Contreras

It was only a matter of time before William Contreras became the top catcher in fantasy baseball, and his usage is one big reason why. The 27-year-old appeared in 155 games, catching 120 while serving as DH in 35. It is hard to find that level of consistency at the backstop position, but his numbers also stand alone. He hit 23 home runs, scored 99 runs, drove in 92, and stole nine bases. Perhaps his best trait compared to his peers is that he is an asset to your ratio numbers. He slashed .281/.365/.466 in 2024, which is not an aberration compared to his career. Aside from having to use an early pick on him, there isn't much downside to the younger Contreras.
