Guardians call up top prospect Cooper Ingle
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Guardians selected the contract of 24-year-old C/OF Cooper Ingle from Triple-A Columbus, promoting him to the major leagues.
- Ingle has impressive Triple-A stats, hitting .284/.416/.551 with 12 home runs in 221 plate appearances, including a recent game with three homers and a double.
- Although primarily a catcher in his professional career, Ingle has experience in the outfield and is expected to play mostly left field and designated hitter for the Guardians.
- Ingle is not known for speed or stealing bases and is likely to have limited playing time against left-handed pitchers, which may reduce his fantasy baseball value.
- Despite limitations, Ingle could be a valuable pickup in two-catcher fantasy leagues and a potential option in single-catcher formats.
