Cooper Ingle
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the compact frame, strong track record of contact and OBP, and solid receiving skills, Ingle projects as a bat-first backup or second-division regular behind the plate. The recent power bump in Triple-A hints at a ceiling of average game power if he continues to selectively hunt pull-side damage counts. More realistically, he becomes a high-contact, high-OBP catcher with modest slug, whose value is amplified if the defense stays at least fringe-average. Path to an everyday role will depend on sustaining offensive performance against MLB velocity while refining blocking, throwing and game-calling enough to satisfy staff demands.
