Detroit Tigers

Ingram was drafted by the Detroit Tigers 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]

Los Angeles Angels

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.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]

On November 15, 2022, the Angels added Ingram to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8] Ingram was optioned to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees to start the 2023 season.[9] 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.[10]
