I’m a Mets fan so I feel objective here. With his stats, glove, heady play, leadership, consistency and 5 rings, how does anyone say he’s not the epitome of a HOF lock? With the steroids and sign stealing scandals, Jeter is in ANOTHER class in my opinion! God speed Jeets
I'll second that comment. Been a Mets fan since '83. Tried as I might to hate the Yankees and everything associated with them, I just couldn't do it with Jeter. A cinch to make it and I wouldn't be angry if he were a unanimous choice
David Wright and Matt Harvey were the king of competitors you want on a team. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game. Both of those guys made me sad that I couldn’t see their talent continue at its peak.
one thing that's really underrated about 2 is when he achieved milestones, he always deferred thanking teammates/coaches first, it was never about him he is so humbled.
How is CARLOS DELGADO not in the HOF??? 473 homers, 1,512 RBI, 1,241 runs, .280/.383/.546 with a .929 career OPS. He was a one-man wrecking crew who NEVER had a hint of steroid controversy or innuendo.
How many hits? How many strikeouts? How does he have 3 batting averages? If the lifetime average was .280, that is not that great. Was he ever on a championship team?
@@keithling417 That is quite possibly the most moronic comment in the history of youtube. That "3 batting averages" statement shows that you know NOTHING about baseball or statistics. You don't even know what a slash line is. That's just embarrassing. Please don't delete your comment. I want other people to marvel at your stupidity for years to come. So you are saying that a player who was never on a championship team should NOT be in the Hall of Fame??? Then you can remove Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Tony Gwynn, Robin Yount, Roy Halladay, Larry Walker, Jim Rice, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza, Ryne Sandberg, and some guy named TED WILLIAMS. Keith, you have the IQ of an amoeba.
While that DRS is terrifying how many iconic plays from SS came from Jeter over the years. Every SS that came up during his career practiced that iconic jump throw from the outfield grass.... why because Jeter, the flip against Oakland is legendary and his dive into the stands against Boston has a freaking documentary about it lol. Sure the stats will say he wasn’t great defensively but he did make clutch plays when they count.
Wow i can't believe Derek is going to the HOF already. I remember when they called him up in 95 in September. It was a pleasure to watch the probably last 5 tool player and pure hitter for his entire career
@@billshamrock449 no offense I'm a yankees fan jeter fan but Jeter is not better then mike trout sorry but mike trout is on another planet there comparing mike trout to babe ruth
@@michaelcaputo4187 who is comparing Mike Trout to Babe Ruth? Look at the numbers. Jeter played a tougher defensive position. Had a career batting average over 300. The only reason people will say trout is better because he hit more home runs and more RBIs. We don't know what will happen with trout but we know what happened with Jeter. I don't know if you watched the video only five players in the history of baseball have more hits than Derek Jeter. He also has 5 World Series rings and was a big-time postseason player in the clutch. Mike Trout is a great player yes but you can compare Derek Jeter to Mike Trout. Because Derek Jeter was the best player of his generation just because you didn't hit 500 home runs doesn't mean you can't compare him to Mike Trout. My response really was I have no idea what that person was talkin about or asking
@@michaelcaputo4187 plus I never said my trap was better than Derek Jeter I asked if that person thought Mike Trout was better than Derek Jeter. Is Mike Trout a better player than Pete Rose?
@Frank k lol okay the awards are a "sham" whatever dude. However you wanna look at it he has them, they're part of his accolades. You can't take that away and the man has never done a questionable thing in his career. There's never been any doubt in him for lacking integrity for the game. He earned the GGs Idk what to tell you. Numbers don't paint the whole picture. Some guys look better than they are based on stats and other guys are underrated because numbers and data aren't everything. Jeter made the plays he needed to make. He might not have had the longest range or the strongest arm but he was still a great shortstop who was very consistent, a leader as captain of the team, and most importantly in a clutch moment you knew you could count on him. Defense might have been the weakest part of his game sure. But he wasn't a poor defensive player by any means. His career speaks for itself.
Jeter actually got better in the post season because in the postseason he faced better pitching. If you're hitting for the same average against better pitchers, that means you're hitting better
DJ2 is beloved and adored by NYY fans. the personification of excellence i couldn't think of a more deserving candidate. the man had the perfect script for a career. he stayed out of trouble and rep the NYY brand with class.
New York Yankees should be blessed to have seen Derek Jeter play his whole career as a New York Yankee. Derek Jeter accomplished once in a lifetime stuff.
Curt Schilling should be in the Hall of Fame. Curt was clutch in the biggest games in baseball biggest stage LCS & World Series. I don’t agree with Schilling politics, however his political views should not negate his rightful place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. The Sanctimonious Baseball Writers strike again
He was the face of MLB for a whole generation. He wasn't MVP caliber any year he played, but he was always consistently good defensively and offensively. #2 Derek Jeter #2
For anyone who doesn't vote Jeter into Cooperstown (1st ballot) they should have their Voting card pulled. 6th in all time Hits with 3465, he only had 63 AB's in 2013 - if he plays a full season he could have racked in over 3600 hits. Post season lets add 200 more hits over 446 AB's.
One looser decided that he or she knew the game of baseball better than those who actually played the game. One voter, does anyone have that voter's name?
I think it's the intangibles that are inspiring to his teammates and demoralizing to Yankees' opponents. When you piece together those numbers and those jump-step throws and punch shots into right field, it'll make more sense to you why he played a full season of playoff games.
It's crazy that in this day and age, with so much that analytics has done, and proven, that people still doubt analytics, or even understand what its true purpose is! What these guys fail to realize is that Derek Jeter is the absolute perfect example of an analytics player. If someone were to run the numbers on Jeter, early in his career, his analytics would have been off the charts! Derek Jeter is exactly the kind of player that analytics would have recommended to any team early in his career when he wasn't a household name. A player who didn't seem to have that one monstrous part of his game, but enough of all his other tools to become more than an asset and possibly even a Hall of Famer someday! These talking heads fail to realize that the purpose of analytics, mostly, is to find players who get on base. Derek Jeter was exactly that, a player who got on base a lot! Shit, it might have been some kind of analytics that brought him to Yankees in the first place. Someone watched him play and saw enough of what he did to place him on the big stage. They realized that he did not have a home-run bat but he had enough of his other tools and HE GOT ON BASE!! That is analytics, boys!
If the yankees had moved Jeter to 2nd, 3rd, or even LF we would be talking about him as one of the top 25 players in baseball history, without a doubt. The fact he is still a HOFer, despite being a cement block at shortstop, shows just how good he was at the plate.
Derek Jeter wasn't the Yankee captain. He IS...MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL'S CAPTAIN!!! He played the game with HONOR and RESPECT, PLAYED TO WIN, and has 5 rings to prove his greatness. The Frank Sinatra of baseball!! #OleBlueEyes
During his career was there anyone in sports with more success on the biggest stages and less controversy. In all of sports I can’t think of one person
I wonder how Jeter is feeling these days trying to make a triple AAA team into a contending major league team with an ever dwindling fan base. He's gone from the NY penthouse to the Miami outhouse
was a great leader doe? When it became his team he leda them to only 1 chip, aand epic colapse in 2004. Everyone likes to throw out that thing "great leader" but there aint no proof for it
even here at the Republic of Palau, we are rooting for the Yankees and the Captain...so not popular in North America, but the world, even down here at the South Pacific....Gooo Yanks
It's a shame that 1 person decided on his own that he shouldn't get 100% of the votes...one of the best all around shortstops ever...i wonder what he's gonna do when it gets to Kershaw, Verlander, and Scherzer let alone Pujols, Arenado, or Trout
there's only one thing i didn't like about the NYY when DJ2 was a FA. there was a report saying Jeter wanted more money then he was offered that's a misinterpretation. in negotiations numbers are being passed around it doesn't mean Jeter was selfish. like any FA you want to get paid and apparently the report said Jeter was mad at the NYY that was BS too. the story was fabricated by the media he cleared it up though Jeet said he hate how the negotiations became public and that's true. keep private talks out of the public.
So because he didn’t say something mean in the locker room, he’s the greatest player of all time? He was a career singles hitter and a HISTORICALLY bad defender who played on the biggest team in baseball for his entire career.
What made jeter one of best players ever was not is numbers but what he did was did what ever needed to do to win. Whether it was a single a double a HR a bunt or a great defensive play. He did it . Baseball these days everyone is going for HR its disgusting
Oh yes, Jeter is the second coming of Christ himself. I heard he doesn’t even sh*t out feces, he actually shoots out gold when he moves his bowels, it’s amazing. I’ve heard he can walk on water, then also he is responsible for saving every child in the world’s life that were rescued from house fires. He wasn’t even there and his spirit ran in and saved them. Also he can fly. Idk if you all knew this but Jeter has the ability to fly and transport whenever he would like. Ive heard he also never sleeps. His body doesn’t require it, he just sits down from time to time for about 5 minutes and that’s all the rest he needs. By far the strongest man that ever lived too. He’s so unbelievable, just the greatest human thats ever graced us with his presence. Actually I misspoke, he’s not human even I’ve heard. He like a cyborg mixed with a God. It’s unbelievable. Oh and that he’s not going to Michigan he’s going to Cooperstown line never happened.
Jeter is an all-time great player. He was also a terrible defender. His oWAR is 96.3, and his rWAR is 72.4. Yikes-so don't pull this "analytics can't do him justice," "he won Gold Gloves" stuff. You don't need to! He was a fantastic player who arguably is the last star that transcended the sport and likely made the performance of his teammates better.
The streak was largely based on luck. I mean Jeter hurt his shoulder in a freak play and he broke his ankle on a simple ground ball. None of which he had control over or was the reason of lack of taking care of his body. Not to mention the way the game is managed now players are sat down for anything that may possibly risk further injury. I respect the streak, but that in and of itself is not a just statistic to measure someone’s greatness.
Coming from a lifetime Mets fan, I really am a Yankees hater and not gonna lie ,I enjoyed watching them lose in the playoffs the last couple of seasons but can't say nothing bad about Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Bernie Williams.......
He was a good player, but since he played for the Yankees, they hyped him up. Would he have the same numbers in last place teams, no. He was a product of the Yankees and ESPN And everyone knows it. What, he did not cheat, please. Come on man.
2:21 "He won five Gold Gloves but nobody would say he was the greatest defensive shortstop of all time." No, unfortunately with baseball's modern metrics - DRS as the end-all gold standard (and now OAA), it's hard to fathom but Jeter turns out to be the worst defensive shortstop of his era, and probably all time. But, Kay is describing what makes Jeter great - 100 percent effort, all day, every day, his welcoming supporting persona, countless times pulling off the big play at just the right moment. His offense was out standing and his ability to get the big hit in critical situations was uncanny - and, he led every other player of his era in BA with runners in scoring position. He is a true HOFer. There are a lot of the "good guys" in baseball, Jeter probably influenced them. More should be like him. Congrats on a great career.
The 1 jerk that didn't vote for him should be stripped of their voting rights and I'm not a Yankees fan at all. One of the top 15 or 20 players ever!!!
@@ericcius1498 ahhh did the lil baby get all in his feelings? Plus you think the world is flat? An server space is somehow your space? GTFO with that bullshit. Stop breathing?

"DID YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT" That's the full quote.

That story that Michael said about Jeter is just the epitome of class man. Major role model to me.
Type of player you tell your grandchildren about
The most intriguing thing about his career is that he started with the Yankees. They didn’t have to overpay for him in free agency like most Yankees
Halfway through his career, I was certain he would be a first year HOFer. He had the skills, and most of all, the attitude and hustle.
No one's sweeter than Jeter!
Wow i can't believe Derek is going to the HOF already. I remember when they called him up in 95 in September. It was a pleasure to watch the probably last 5 tool player and pure hitter for his entire career

But, Kay is describing what makes Jeter great - 100 percent effort, all day, every day, his welcoming supporting persona, countless times pulling off the big play at just the right moment. His offense was out standing and his ability to get the big hit in critical situations was uncanny - and, he led every other player of his era in BA with runners in scoring position. He is a true HOFer. There are a lot of the "good guys" in baseball, Jeter probably influenced them. More should be like him. Congrats on a great career.
over rated on his defence.other than that the best!!!
WWDD
10:29 Uhhhh What controversy? He gave Jessica Alba Herpes! I can't think of a more despicable act.
Were you there and do you have medical documentation.
@@aligaines8476 There is plenty of documentation on this matter. Educate yourself first, then talk to me.
Michael Kay, outing himself as a member of the "Orange ogre-man bad" crowd
The 1 jerk that didn't vote for him should be stripped of their voting rights and I'm not a Yankees fan at all. One of the top 15 or 20 players ever!!!
The one person who didn’t vote for Jeter should lose the privilege to vote

Pigtailed trick.
He’s overrated af
Don’t forget he was an awful fielder and is most known for cutting off a perfect throw
ItsMinarmy no he wasn’t
Karafallout 1992 documented facts are saying he was a negative fielder
Frank k his name is Daaaaan Ugglaaa!
Jeter is not a Hall of Famer
