Victor Caratini's homer proves to be the x-factor in Brewers' 6-5 win over the Cubs

Powers offense in win Caratini went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 3-2 win against the Mets.

Impact Caratini was the only Brewer with multiple hits in the contest, and his two-run shot off Max Scherzer in the sixth inning provided the bulk of Milwaukee's output in the narrow victory. With William Contreras entrenched as the team's primary backstop, Caratini has been on the bench more often than not of late -- his start Thursday was his first over Milwaukee's past four games. Caratini has made the most of his limited opportunities in June, slashing .344/.389/.531 with two homers, seven RBI, six runs and a stolen base over 10 contests.

Homers in win Caratini went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Carantini's homer off Ben Lively was his third of the season, his first since May 9. His two-hit performance was also his first multi-hit effort since May 4. Carantini is now just 3-for-26 (.148) in his last seven games. For the season, he's slashing .216/.301/.338 with 10 RBI through 83 plate appearances while backing up William Contreras in Milwaukee.

Records two RBI Caratini went 0-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's extra-inning victory over the Reds.

Impact Caratini was held without a hit, but he did record multiple RBI in a game for the second time this season. Caratini has not made much contact of late, picking up just three hits over his last 37 at-bats, but he has gotten a fair share of opportunities, starting eight of Milwaukee's last 18 games. Starting catcher William Contreras opened the other 10 games behind the plate and also served as the designated hitter three times over that span.

Smacks homer Caratini went 1-for-3 with a homer in Tuesday's 6-2 loss against the Dodgers.

Impact Caratini hit one of the two Milwaukee homers in the seventh inning. The backup catcher has two home runs on the season and has an .867 OPS. He is William Contreras' backup, but has produced at the plate when given at bats.

Hits first long ball of season Caratini went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-2 victory over the Tigers.

Impact After striking out in his first at-bat, Caratini smoked a two-run blast in the third to give Milwaukee a 5-0 lead, marking his first long ball of the season. He added a single his next time up, giving him two multi-hit games this year. Caratini continues to operate as the backup behind William Contreras and has appeared in only nine of the Brewers' first 25 games, but he's put up solid offensive numbers in his limited action.

Brewers take on the Padres after Caratini's 4-hit game

The Milwaukee Brewers play the San Diego Padres after Victor Caratini had four hits against the Padres on Saturday

APRIL 16, 2023 • Associated Press

Picks up four hits in loss Caratini went 4-for-4 with one run scored in Saturday's loss against the Padres.

Impact Carantini has gotten limited playing time to begin the season as the backup backstop, but the 29-year-old took advantage of a start Saturday against the Padres with the four-hit effort. With a career .669 OPS over six-plus seasons, it's unlikely there are too many more of these games coming for Caratini for the rest of the campaign.

Enjoying another hot spring Caratini is 9-for-23 (.391) with a home run, three RRBI and a 3:3 BB:K through 10 appearances this spring.

Impact Caratini owns a .932 OPS over 98 career exhibition games, so his hot spring is not particularly surprising. It has, though, ensured he will break camp as the backup catcher behind William Contreras.

Caratini, Milner avoid arbitration, reach deals with Brewers

Milwaukee catcher Victor Caratini and left-hander Hoby Milner agreed to one-year contracts, a day ahead of the swap of proposed arbitration salaries between players and teams

JANUARY 13, 2023 • Associated Press

Avoids arbitration Caratini signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Brewers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Caratini has served as a backup catcher for the majority of his career. However, he's managed to top 300 plate appearances in each of his last two seasons while also grading out as a well above-average framer behind the dish. Entering 2023, Caratini figures to serve as the secondary catcher in Milwaukee behind William Contreras.
