Here's one more way 'Wild Bill' is dominating during Brewers' postseason run

William Contreras has taken his offensive production to a new level for the Milwaukee Brewers during their postseason run, posting a 1.141 OPS with three home runs and eight RBIs while catching all 11 playoff games. Beyond his bat and his defensive work behind the plate, which includes throwing out three attempted base stealers during the World Series against the Rays, the catcher has excelled by mastering the new Automatic Ball-Strike Challenge System.

Having led the regular season with 185 challenges, Contreras has become even more aggressive in October, utilizing the ABS system on 63 percent of incorrect calls while maintaining a 66 percent success rate that has added 0.8 Runs Above Average. In Game 1 of the Fall Classic, manager Pat Murphy highlighted his catcher's immense value after Contreras threw out two runners, went 2 for 3 with a walk and an RBI, and successfully claimed two strikes via the ABS system that resulted in strikeouts.
