William Contreras continues to hold his own in his third season with the Milwaukee Brewers, and he’s on track to possibly surpass his numbers from last year, when he finished the 2024 season with a .281 batting average—slightly better than his brother Willson Contreras, who hit .262.
But individual stats aren’t the headline this time. Instead, the Contreras brothers recently pulled off a rare MLB feat that hadn’t been seen since 1933, when Rick and Wes Ferrell—playing for the Red Sox and Guardians—each homered in the same inning as opponents. Sarah Langs and Elias Sports are behind the report.
That historic moment was repeated in 2025 during a recent matchup between the Cardinals (Willson) and Brewers (William). Willson went deep in the top of the 9th, and William followed in the bottom half of the inning. The game ended 8-4 in favor of the Cardinals.
Who has more home runs among the Contreras brothers?
So far in the 2025 season, Willson leads with 9 home runs, while William has 6. Looking at their career totals, William has launched 74 home runs since debuting in 2020, but Willson—now in his 10th MLB season—has racked up 161.
Both brothers have been steady contributors for their teams, though they’ve dealt with their share of challenges—injuries and playing time among them. Still, they’ve managed to stay consistent and remain key pieces on their respective rosters.

Who earns more?
Both Contreras brothers are making solid money this year, but Willson has the edge by a wide margin. He’s earning $18 million with the Cardinals as part of a 5-year, $87.5 million contract. William, meanwhile, is set to make $6 million this season with the Brewers and could become a free agent at season’s end.
