Coach Mark, who led the Minor League River Bandits, stands out for putting his players and the organization first. Parents and players praised his ability to instill confidence, inspire a love for the game, and support players through challenges.

One player shared: “Coach Mark pushes me to be a better player in a positive way. He says mistakes are OK… I hope to continue playing on his team.”

Mark was recognized at last night’s January Board of Directors meeting joined by family and players from his team.

Thank you, Coach Mark, for being an incredible leader and role model for the players in our organization
