Looking back at that team, heck of a defense. Matt W, J.J. Hardy at SS, Jones in CF and Nick.

Assuming that it encompassed 2013 and 2014 when Markakis accomplished this feat (2 seasons he had 0 errors), he was a slightly better than average defender 2.4 UZR/150 - ranked 23rd among qualified outfielders.

Unsurprisingly, he was first in the number of runs prevented by not making errors, with 5.
He also had a good arm - saving 8 runs with placed him 11th.
Maybe he would have made some errors if he'd gotten to more balls.
He was 48th out of 53 in range runs, at -7.8
