New York Mets’ Carlos Beltran is an apex predator and a born leader

In Major League Baseball’s field of dreams, an ‘apex predator’ manager has emerged. His name is Carlos Ivan Beltrán. He brings a five-tool resume, on and off the baseball diamond, to deliver the New York Mets to the promised land.

He is a complicated man with a simple goal: win a World Series Championship. For Carlos, this is unfinished business.

In nature, apex or alpha predators are at the top of the food chain. They have no known predators. Some examples include tigers, sharks, and even polar bears (the real kind, not Peter Alonso, although that can be debated).
