William Contreras breaks improbable Brewers franchise record due to iron-man mentality

William Contreras is on the verge of becoming the first Brewers catcher to catch 1,000 innings in three consecutive seasons, needing just 6.1 more innings to reach the milestone. Since joining Milwaukee in 2023, Contreras has appeared in 141, 155, 150, and 136 games respectively, while catching 120, 128, and 118 games per season. Jonathan Lucroy is the only other franchise catcher to accomplish three 1,000-inning seasons, doing so in 2011, 2013, and 2014. Contreras achieved this durability despite playing through a fractured finger last season, highlighting his toughness at one of baseball's most physically demanding positions.
