VICTOR CARATINI NEWS

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.

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.

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

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.

Three hits in loss Caratini went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Caratini was the only player on either team to record multiple hits. He also produced the Brewers' lone run, playing Luis Urias with a single in the seventh inning. Caratini entered Friday 0-for-10 across his last three games, though his starting role is not yet in doubt since Omar Narvaez (quadriceps) is a week away from beginning a rehab assignment. For the season, Caratini is slashing .233/.351/.413 with eight home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and seven doubles through 205 plate appearances.
