Willson Contreras 2024 Player Outlook: Has High-Floor At A Thin Position
11 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras should be in store for more success in his second season with the club. Contreras went through plenty of struggles in his first year with the Cardinals, both at the plate and behind the plate. He lost catching duties early in the year and entered June 16th with just a .198 batting average and seven home runs. But, over the final 62 games of the 2023 season, Contreras settled in at the plate on his new team. During that span, he hit .335 with 13 HRs, 15 doubles, and 40 RBI. For the season, he finished with a .264 batting average (his best since 2017) with 20 HRs, 27 doubles (tied for the most in his career), and 67 RBI (second-most in his career). Now, in his second year in St. Louis and hitting behind Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, a better fantasy finish for the three-time All-Star seems attainable.
