William Contreras is living a truly dream year 2022 with the Atlanta Braves in the Major Leagues, taking advantage of every opportunity with production with his bat and good performances. The catcher recently joined none other than Miguel Cabrera and Ronald Acuña Jr. in a record among Venezuelans.
The youngest of the Contreras brothers has made himself felt with his power on repeated occasions during this 2022 campaign and putting himself on a par with both Cabrera and his partner Acuña Jr. should be a motivation and total pride, taking into account that they are two reference and also, with him, there are only three Creoles who have achieved this.
The record that Contreras joined was by becoming the third Venezuelan under the age of 25 with 20 or more home runs in his first 88 games of a Major League campaign. The Braves youngster accomplished this last Saturday, punishing the Philadelphia Phillies with a home run.

Tell Miguel Cabrera These are big words among Venezuelans, but this player who has barely had three seasons in MLB will be able to afford to share a brand with this legendary Detroit Tigers player.
In addition, Contreras’ 2022 has been so brilliant that he managed to do things together with his brother Willson that had never been seen in the history of this sport.first being the first pair of Venezuelan brothers to start in an All-Star Game and also, the first pair of receiving brothers to record 20 home runs in a season.
During 89 games this season, the Braves has 86 hits, 20 homers, 44 RBIs, 47 runs scored and a .276/.347/.860 offensive line.
