Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras concluded an incredible postseason by winning World Series MVP.

Contreras is the eighth backstop to take home the Fall Classic honor, and the first since Salvador Perez in 2015. He slashed .381/.435/.429 with four RBIs over five games against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The 28-year-old also played great defensively behind the plate, successfully winning 10-for-13 on ABS challenges and helping the Brewers win their first title in franchise history

Contreras hit .357 with a homer and three RBIs during an NLCS sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers after going deep twice in the NLDS versus the San Diego Padres.

Contreras had enjoyed an incredible year. He helped lead Venezuela to its first World Baseball Classic title in March, earned his third All-Star appearance in July, and has now won his first World Series championship.
