Willet held the single season batting average record from 1960-1969 and is sixth all-time with a career batting average of .377. He led the nation during his tenure with a .471 batting average. Willet commanded his team to MAC Championships in 1964 and 1965 and a second-place finish in 1963 and 66. In 1965 Bobcats held the single season record for wins until 1970 with a 28-3 overall mark and holds the distinction for fewest losses in school history in the MAC baseball era.
