Willson Contreras signed with the Chicago Cubs in 2009 as an international free agent. As a 17-year-old he began his professional baseball career. A converted infielder, Contreras is now one of the best catchers in MLB and on Sunday night he was named to his first all-star team, voted in by the fans to start for the National League in Washington D.C.
Javier Baez was also named a starter and Jon Lester was selected to the NL pitching staff for the mid-summer classic. The Cubs filmed the immediate reaction to Contreras and Baez finding out about their selections, but Contreras getting emotional is definitely the highlight of this video.
It reminded me of Contreras also breaking down after the Cubs won the 2016 World Series.
How can you not love Willson Contreras.
