Cooper Ingle Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Guardians catcher Cooper Ingle is being held out of both games of the doubleheader on Friday at Triple-A Columbus. Ingle has been crushing the ball all season in Triple-A, so Ingle not being in the lineup for either game of a doubleheader is odd. It seems more than likely that Ingle is headed to the big leagues. The Guardians are searching for offense after a handful of injuries have crushed their lineup. Ingle is slashing .304/.436/.590 with 12 home runs, 39 RBI, and 38 walks in 47 games at Triple-A Columbus this season. The 24-year-old currently sits as the Guardians third ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. Ingle could be an immediate fantasy asset, assuming he does get the call to the big leagues.

Cleveland Guardians top catching prospect Cooper Ingle is expected to be in the mix for an early MLB debut in 2026. Ingle joined the Guardians in the fourth round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of Clemson. Ingle began 2025 by making his second appearance at the Double-A level. Through 92 games, the young backstop looked quite comfortable, posting a .273/.391/.441 line with a strong .882 OPS. He would hit nine home runs, while showing a strong eye at the plate, posting a 70:65 K:BB. He would then earn a second-half ticket to Triple-A Columbus. However, Ingle stumbled in his first look facing the top pitching in the minor leagues, posting a modest .207/.383/.329 line. He would hit just one round-tripper during this stint. Given his struggles, managers should expect MLB.com's No. 99-ranked prospect to begin the season at Triple-A. However, if he can find his footing early, he should contend for a first-half 2026 promotion.

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Cooper Ingle has been promoted to Triple-A Columbus. The Guardians' fifth-ranked prospect showed well at Double-A Akron before his promotion, hitting .273 with nine home runs while walking nearly as much as he struck out (65:70 BB:K) in 92 games for the RubberDucks. The 23-year-old backstop now sits on the doorstep to the majors and should be in the mix to join the big league club sometime next year. While he has shown some surprising pop, he's better known for his hit tool, and his .410 career OBP in the minors could translate to the majors.

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Cooper Ingle moved into the No. 30 spot in the Guardians' top prospect list with the graduation of Jose Tena. Ingle is hitting .330 with four homers and 36 RBI for High-A Lake County this season. The 22-year-old has a .918 OPS in his second season at High-A. The Clemson product was a fourth-round selection of the Guardians in the 2023 draft and has gotten off to a nice start to his professional career. The lefty-swinging Ingle doesn't have a ton of power in his bat but profiles as an above-average pure hitter. He is a name to keep in mind at the catcher position for the future and he could advance quickly through the Guardians' system.
