[edit]

Amateur career

Detroit Tigers

[edit]

The Detroit Tigers selected Ingram in the 37th round, with the 1,102nd overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[2] He made his professional debut with the rookie–level Gulf Coast League Tigers. In 15 contests, he registered a 4.15 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 30+1⁄3 innings pitched.[3] Ingram did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] On July 3, 2020, Ingram was released by the Tigers.[5]

Los Angeles Angels

[edit]

On January 29, 2021, Ingram signed with the Sioux Falls Canaries of the American Association of Professional Baseball. Prior to the American Association season, on March 29, Ingram signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels organization.[6] He split the 2021 season between the Single–A Inland Empire 66ers, High–A Tri-City Dust Devils, and Double–A Rocket City Trash Pandas. In 36 cumulative appearances, he posted a 3.47 ERA with 67 strikeouts and 10 saves in 46+2⁄3 innings of work.[7] Ingram spent the 2022 season with Double–A Rocket City, appearing in 50 games and posting a 6–2 record and 2.67 ERA with 73 strikeouts and 10 saves in 60+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8] On November 15, 2022, the Angels added Ingram to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[9]

Ingram was optioned to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees to start the 2023 season.[10] He was later reassigned to the Double–A Rocket City Trash Pandas, and posted a 2.63 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 2 saves in 27+1⁄3 innings of work across 23 appearances.

On June 15, 2023, Ingram was promoted to the major leagues for the first time,[11] and made his debut two days later against the Kansas City Royals. Ingram entered the game in the seventh inning, with the Angels leading the Royals 8-2. Ingram got his first batter to fly out, but would then give up 2 hits and 2 walks before being replaced by Jacob Webb who gave up a double, allowing 2 more runners to score that were charged to Ingram. This began a comeback by the Royals, who would eventually win by a score of 10-9.[12] In five games, Ingram pitched to an 8.44 ERA, though he did so with an above average 11.81 K/9.[13][14] On January 29, 2024, Ingram was designated for assignment by the Angels.[15]

New York Mets

On February 5, 2024, Ingram returned to the Detroit Tigers organization when they claimed him off waivers from the Angels.[16] However, the Tigers also designated him for assignment, on February 20.[17] The New York Mets claimed him off waivers on February 25.[18] Ingram was optioned to the Triple–A Syracuse Mets to begin the 2024 season.[19] After struggling to a 7.20 ERA across four games, he was designated for assignment on April 20.[20]
