"Defense" Most hyped up player by East coast sports writers ever.
SO TRUE!
Put him on anyone except Boston dodgers or Yankees and he’s just a normal player. And he wouldn’t have been more because he wouldn’t have had much post season experience.
You may be right, but I've always hated this argument cuz it's just a "what if" scenario. It's not what happened, he played on the Yankees when they were the last true baseball dynasty (No team has won back-to-back WS since them, and it's been 23 seasons now!) So yes, he had more chances to have memorable playoff moments cuz of that, but he still had to consistently perform well in the playoffs to make those happen where most players seem to fall flat, especially in NY.
And keep this in mind, Jeter led the 1998 Yankees (arguably the best team ever) and the 1999 Yankees in WAR by far! (3rd best in defensive WAR on the 98' team). So he didn't just play on the last dynasty team, he was the most valuable player on that team 2 years in a row. You don't get that by being just a "normal" player. I understand he wasn't hitting 50+ HR's every year, but he was still an extremely valuable player for the last true baseball dynasty team. That's worth something.
Just my 2 cents lol.
@breadandcircuses8127 Yes, agreed. Everything in NY becomes amplified since it's such a big stage. Especially if you're winning the world series all the time like that, they treat you like a king! Jeter was very lucky, he was at the right place at the right time.
Also, some players seem like they have a tougher time in NY with the media spotlight and the pressure from the fans. So it's impressive that he was able to thrive in that environment for 2 decades!
Anybody who thinks Jeter is a bad defender needs to watch his 2001 postseason run.
The dude MANNED shortstop like no other.
He had a great arm, even the great Ozzie Smith talks about it in the video.
He's making routine plays. He made a couple great plays in his career, but over a long career you'd expect that. Overall, he was a liability with his glove, and he should have moved to 3rd when the Yanks had their first shot at getting Rodriguez. He's my least favorite of the Yankees from the late 90s runs.
He did man shortstop like no other. He accumulated the most negative defensive value of any player in MLB history. Oh but he did the jump throw that one time so it’s okay.
Most overrated
