Willy Del Jesus Aybar (born March 9, 1983) is a Major League Baseball (MLB) infielder who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, and Tampa Bay Rays. He is the older brother of Erick Aybar. He is currently a free agent.
On August 31, 2005, Aybar made his Major League Baseball debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In his short time on the big league roster, Aybar made strides in impressing then-manager Jim Tracy. In 86 at-bats, Aybar compiled a .326 batting average with 10 runs batted in and 3 stolen bases.
After the 2005 season, Aybar was a candidate to start at third base for the Dodgers in 2006. However, in the offseason, the Dodgers signed free agent and former batting champion Bill Mueller as their starting third baseman. After they also signed Ramón Martínez to join Óscar Robles in being the primary backups, Aybar found himself out of a job. His .216 batting average during Spring training did not help his cause either.
On May 12, 2006, Aybar received another opportunity to be the starting third baseman when Mueller was placed on the 15-day disabled list for arthroscopic knee surgery, he was recalled from the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate, the Las Vegas 51s.
On July 28, 2006, he was traded to the Braves along with relief pitcher Danys Báez for infielder Wilson Betemit.
