Fantasy baseball prospect watch: Is Cleveland ready for a new catcher?
"Ingle is batting .357/.617/.786 through 13 games (47 PA), with four homers, 12 RBI and a relevant 18 walks versus nine strikeouts."
"While his .176 BABIP should normalize, Naylor, 26, has never been much of a hitter, hitting .195/.282/.379 last season in 414 PA."
"Ingle, who hit only .207/.383/.329 over 28 games (107 PA) at Columbus last season, has always been an enticing on-base option with modest power."
"With all respect to Naylor, it seems clear that Ingle would be an offensive upgrade in Cleveland, and he may be promoted soon."
Cooper Ingle, a fourth-round pick in the 2023 draft, is excelling in Triple-A with a .357 batting average and an OPS of 1.403. He has hit four home runs and driven in 12 runs in just 13 games. The Cleveland Guardians' current starting catcher, Bo Naylor, is struggling offensively, making Ingle a potential upgrade. Ingle's strong on-base skills and modest power suggest he could become a top-10 fantasy catcher, especially in deeper formats where reliable catchers are valuable.
