Cooper Ingle's MLB Call-Up Imminent?
23 Apr
Summary
- Prospect Cooper Ingle removed after consecutive hits.
- Ingle boasts a .355 batting average with four home runs.
- Guardians currently have two catchers, Bo Naylor and Austin Hedges.

Speculation is mounting among Guardians fans that top prospect Cooper Ingle may be on the verge of a Major League Baseball call-up. This buzz began after Ingle was removed from a recent game, reportedly after a discussion with staff following his second consecutive hit. Ingle, who is 24 years old and was a fourth-round pick in 2023, is having a stellar season at Triple-A.
He is currently batting .355 with four home runs and a 1.357 OPS in the early stages of the season. The Guardians' current catching situation involves Bo Naylor and Austin Hedges. While the team has a perfect 9-0 record in games started by Hedges, Naylor has struggled this season. Ingle, considered a top-100 prospect, was likely to see MLB action this year, and his current performance is pushing that timeline forward.
