Chuck Ingram makes an impact in his first year as a Shocker

From a young age, Wichita State freshman Chuck Ingram could tell that he wanted to be a baseball player.

Growing up, Ingram’s father played two years in the minor leagues for the South Bend White Sox following his collegiate career at the University of New Orleans, which inspired Chuck to enter a similar path.

In high school, Ingram played both baseball and football but could tell that he had a different level of interest for baseball. Ingram said that was largely due to his father’s baseball background.

“Obviously because my dad played in college and pro ball which was pretty amazing because he’s helped me in a ton of ways and he has really good knowledge of the game,” Ingram said.
