The Guardians promoted Ingle from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Ingle, a 23-year-old catching prospect, batted .273 with nine home runs and a 65:70 BB:K over 403 plate appearances with Akron. He'll likely finish out the 2025 season and open the 2026 campaign as Columbus' No. 1 catcher, but Ingle should have a good chance at reaching the majors at some point next summer.
Guardians' Cooper Ingle: Reaches Double-A in first full season
Rotowire
Ingle is slashing .276/.389/.408 with two home runs, four steals and as many walks (14) as strikeouts in 22 games for Double-A Akron.
Ingle, a 22-year-old catcher whom the Guardians selected in the fourth round last year, had a dominant showing at High-A Lake County earlier in the year before getting promoted to Double-A in August. He slashed .313/.433/.500 with nine homers and three steals with more walks than strikeouts in 68 games in the Midwest League. Ingle's eventual power output is to be determined, but at the very least, he seems to have a good hit tool for an upper-level catching prospect.
