A ball will go into the alley and you'll think, 'Well, he can't quite get to it,' and Marcus makes it on the run, comfortably. With uncanny instincts, good speed and a throwing arm that often stuns teammates and foes alike, McBeth is the near-perfect outfielder. Tanner says in terms of defense, McBeth could play in the majors right now. McBeth is a silky-smooth outfielder, and that would be enough if that were all. But it is not.
True grace involves much more.
McBeth, though, appears as seamless in the rest of his life as he is in center field. Soft-spoken, humble, even spiritual. Shoot, Marcus has a way of balancing me out. And the way he carries himself, it's unspeakable. And that's not even mentioning the piano.
