Coach's Comments: "One of his strengths is his strength," Williams said. "He's real strong which allows him to hit the ball well. And that comes from work in the weight room. He plays hard and he'll give you everything he's got. Mark's willing to do anything it takes to win -- he'll help in any way he can. He's turned into a disciplined hitter. He's not chasing bad pitches this year. He's waiting for his pitch and hitting it somewhere fair. He's helped the team a lot by getting on base."
