| Summary: Ingle is a selective left-handed hitter with a direct move to the ball and the zone feel to post consistently strong OBP marks. Contact quality has ticked up as added strength and a bit more loft have crept into the swing, giving him a chance to reach modest over-the-fence power without sacrificing his trademark bat-to-ball skills. Chase and in-zone miss rates remain excellent, keeping the offensive floor higher than most catchers in his tier. Defensively, he’s athletic behind the plate with improving receiving and clean hands. Arm strength is below average on pure grade, but the transfer is quick and accurate enough for the skill to play closer to average in-game. Mobility and footwork give him a shot to stick at catcher long term, though durability will always be monitored given the smaller frame. Outfield reps add a layer of versatility, but catcher remains the clearest path. Overall projection centers on OBP-driven value with a realistic chance to grow into 12–15 home runs as strength continues to develop. Barrel control, discipline, and competitive at-bats give him a high probability to reach the big leagues, and the defensive foundation is steady enough to project a future as a second-division starter or high-end backup whose on-base skills carry the profile. | |||||||||||
