Marc Newfield

Marc Alexander Newfield (born October 19, 1972) is an American former professional baseball player from to who played for the Seattle Mariners, San Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Newfield played baseball at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, California. As a first baseman, he was one of the top-ranked high school baseball players in 1990. The Mariners drafted Newfield with the sixth overall selection in the first round of the 1990 MLB draft. When he made his MLB debut in 1993, he was the youngest player in the majors. At that time, manager Lou Piniella wanted Newfield to become a full-time outfielder. On July 8, Newfield hit a low line drive to John Valentin of the Boston Red Sox, starting an unassisted triple play.

On July 31, 1995, the Mariners traded Newfield and fellow first round draft pick Ron Villone to the San Diego Padres for Andy Benes, with Greg Keagle later sent to Seattle. The following July 31, San Diego traded Newfield, Villone, and Bryce Florie to the Milwaukee Brewers for Greg Vaughn. Newfield hit over .300 after both midseason trades, batting .309 with one home run in 21 games for San Diego in 1995 and .307 with 7 home runs in 49 games for Milwaukee in 1996.

Newfield was arrested on September 28 in Dearborn, Michigan and charged with possession of marijuana. The next year, he called the arrest "the scariest moment of my life." He injured his hamstring in a 1997 spring training game, which contributed to a slump to start the season.

After retiring as a player, Newfield worked for a demolition company in Georgia. He has also had several knee surgeries stemming from an on-field collision in the minors in 1999.
