Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers selected Ingram in the 37th round, with the 1,102nd overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft. 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.

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. 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. 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. On November 15, 2022, the Angels added Ingram to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Ingram was optioned to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees to start the 2023 season. 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, 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. In five games, Ingram pitched to an 8.44 ERA, though he did so with an above average 11.81 K/9. On January 29, 2024, Ingram was designated for assignment by the Angels.
New York Mets
