Willson Contreras vs. Spenser Watkins — Matchup Analysis
Spenser Watkins has kept Contreras in check relative to their career standard. With only 6 plate appearances this is early evidence, but it leans Watkins. An OPS of 0.833 is a solid mark overall, but it sits 3% below where Contreras typically operates, reflecting a pitcher making a great hitter work harder than usual. Even with Contreras striking out less often than usual, once every 6 PA versus a career rate of once every 4.1 PA, the overall production numbers still favor Watkins. Slight edge: Watkins.
