Ayla Ray brings real two-way infield pop for YSU
Ayla Ray looks like the kind of infield bat every coach wants in the lineup: in the 2025 season at Youngstown State, she started all 53 games and hit .321 with 25 runs, 23 RBIs, five doubles, a triple and two homers, then kept producing in 2026 with timely extra-base pop and multi-hit games. A two-time Ohio state champion from Austintown Fitch, she arrives with a strong offensive résumé and a reputation for consistency, competitive edge and big-game comfort—less flash, more “get on base and hurt you.”
