One of Varsity Baseball’s managers this spring, Marco Beshere ’24 has helped the team to a successful season. The Panel has noticed his hard work, and we have decided to make Marco the first-ever Manager of the Issue. Marco is a calming presence in the dugout who helps everyone, coaches and players alike, feel at-ease and confident. When asked about being the first-ever Manager of the Issue, Marco responded, “I am happy that all of my hard work is being noticed. I tried to be the best manager possible this season, and being chosen as Manager of the Issue is extraordinarily gratifying.”
The Baseball team manager helps with equipment, recording stats, and revving up team members before and during games. A keen mind is required to track and record every ball and strike, maintaining the scorebook on the GameChanger app. Marco makes sure that all the players have what they need: “Handing someone their bat before they hit a homerun is a similar feeling to scoring a goal in hockey. The exhilaration I get is unmatched.” These qualities exemplify his collaborative, competitive edge.
Managers are often underestimated because they do not have a role in the field, but Marco is trying to change that stereotype. He always puts all his effort into providing the best service for the team to make them feel cared for and lets them know that he always has their back. “I would never let someone down if I could prevent it. It is my role as team manager to create a positive, warm team environment that induces success.” “He’s a real G,” says outfielder Reuben Siegel. “Quite the gamechanger, I credit 65% of the team’s success solely to Marco,” adds PO Nolan Bibbo, referring to the statistical database that Marco controls.
Marco is grateful for all the support he has received throughout his life that has put him in the position he is in today. “I’d like to thank all the players and coaches who have allowed me to flourish in my managerial duties.” The Panel wishes good luck to Marco on all his future ventures in and out of the dugout.
