Mark is, of course, known for his big bat. He has a perfect 100 batting power and 50/100 contact, which is the same as fellow slugger Sammy Sosa. None of his other attributes are much higher than the 60s, although his 4 out of 5 height allows him to catch most things thrown or hit his way.
==League History==
===BBL===
====Season 1====
Mark was first taken with the 3rd pick of the second round by coach crazyei8hts of the Expos. The offense was catered to Big Mac hitting in the cleanup spot, and Mark delivered, leading the team in home runs and RBIs. His 16 home runs also led the league.
====Season 2====
In Season 2, Mark's draft stock fell a little bit, and he was selected with the 31st pick in the fourth round by coach GreenDayEagles of the Rockies. He once again led his team in home runs and RBIs, but his numbers weren't quite as impressive as his Season 1 output.
====Season 9====
Seasons 3 through 8 took place exclusively on Backyard Baseball 2003, so 2001-only pros like Mark McGwire could not be used. However, Season 9 combined the two versions of the game, so 2001 pros were back in the mix. Mark was taken with the first pick of the 5th round, 97th overall, by coach Mavfatha of the Orioles. Mark was a main source of offense for the Orioles, setting career highs with a 0.684 batting average, 21 runs scored and 48 RBIs. His 48 RBIs and 12 home runs led the Orioles.
