Just Missed: Catcher Cooper Ingle (Clemson) was the first player off the list after slashing .351/.449/.526 with eight home runs for the Tigers last year and is one of my favorite players in the conference. He utilizes a short, slasher-type swing focused on lashing line drives around the field, but he can turn on one if he needs to and could be a fun prospect to develop. An interesting .252/.401/.319 run through the Cape Cod League with more walks (30) than strikeouts (28) highlighted his exceptional feel for hitting and also called into question somewhat his ability to create impact with wood bats.

Cooper Ingle

Clemson 

One of the most patient, polished hitters in the country, Ingle is a player development dream with a keen eye at the plate and budding exit velocities when he's ready to pull the trigger. Mostly a slasher, gap-to-gap type of hitter now, Ingle has flashed average raw power and could eventually run into double-digit homers as a professional. For now, he's going to provide teams an excellent plate appearance, peppering the field line to line. Ingle needs to continue to get stronger to improve his arm strength behind the plate, but he's a good athlete back there and projects at worst a fringe-average backstop as a pro.
