Guardians prospect Cooper Ingle shows power surge in Columbus

Cooper Ingle, a prospect catcher for the Cleveland Guardians, has shown notable power at Triple-A Columbus. After hitting 10 home runs last season, Ingle has already launched nine homers this year in 133 at-bats, significantly improving his power after adding muscle in the offseason. The Guardians' catcher position has struggled this season, prompting the team to consider alternatives. Ingle, ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the organization, aims to break into the major league roster after showing improved batting and impressive plate discipline with a 21% walk rate. He acknowledges the increased catcher depth at the big league level and remains focused on his development.
