Outlook Willson Contreras

Red-hot Contreras anchors the Boston infield with elite production

Willson Contreras is absolutely tearing the cover off the ball, batting .421 with two homers over his last seven games for a fifth-place Boston squad. Fully recovered from a prior hand injury, the veteran has locked down everyday starter duties at first base.

While his stellar .363 average over the last 30 days is outstanding, our models project him to settle closer to a .253 mark rest of season, aligning with his career .250 baseline. Expect some natural average regression, though his power is legitimate and should easily push him past our 16-homer projection.

The week ahead features six games, beginning with three in Tampa Bay before returning home to face Texas. Contreras draws highly favorable matchups against Ian Seymour and Jack Leiter, which should more than offset a tough weekend clash against Jacob deGrom. Verdict: Start.
