An infielder to know from the Cangelosi Sparks North squad was SS Julio Ayala (Montini Catholic, 2027). Ayala has strength in his 6-foot, 165-pound frame and has natural infield actions. Ayala never seemed to be in a rush on the diamond, playing with clean footwork, soft hands and an easy arm that played from multiple slots. Also, is a left-handed hitter that stands in the box with confidence and rhythm and short, uphill stroke.
