Derek Sanderson Jeter (
/ˈdʒiːtər/; born June 26, 1974) is an American baseball shortstop who has played 18 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A five-time World Series champion, Jeter has been a central figure of the Yankees during their success of the 1990s and 2000s due to his clubhouse presence, on-field leadership, hitting ability, and baserunning.[1] He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,155), games played (2,472), stolen bases (342), and at bats (10,066). His accolades include twelve All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, four Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and the Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter is the all-time MLB leader in hits by a shortstop,[1][2] and the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits.
The Yankees drafted Jeter out of high school in 1992, and he debuted in the major leagues in 1995. The following year, he became the Yankees' starting shortstop, won the Rookie of the Year Award, and helped the team win the 1996 World Series. Jeter continued to contribute during the team's championship seasons of 1998–2000; he finished third in voting for the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 1998, recorded multiple career-high numbers in 1999, and won both the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in 2000. He has consistently placed among the AL leaders in hits and runs scored for the past ten years, and since 2003 has served as the Yankees' team captain.[3]
Throughout his career, Jeter has contributed reliably to the Yankees' franchise successes in the postseason. He holds many postseason records, and has a .351 batting average in the World Series. Jeter has earned the titles of "Captain Clutch" and "Mr. November" due to his postseason heroics.[4][5]
Jeter has been one of the most heavily marketed athletes of his generation and is involved in several product endorsements. His personal life and relationships with celebrities have drawn the attention of the media throughout his career. Teammates and opponents alike regard Jeter as a consummate professional and one of the best players of his generation.[6][7] Sportswriters anticipate that Jeter will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame following his playing career.[8][9]
Jeter was born in Pequannock, New Jersey on June 26, 1974. His father, Sanderson Charles Jeter, Ph.D., a substance abuse counselor, is African American; his mother, Dorothy, an accountant, is Caucasian and of Irish/German descent.[10] They met while serving in the United States Army in Germany.[11] As a child, Jeter's parents made him sign a contract every year that set acceptable and unacceptable forms of behavior.[12] Dorothy instilled a positive attitude in her son, insisting that he not use the word "can't".[13] Jeter's sister Sharlee, who is five years younger, was a softball star in high school,[11] while his father played baseball at Fisk University in Tennessee at the shortstop position.[14]
The Jeters lived in North Arlington, New Jersey until Derek was four years old, at which point they moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan.[1] Derek and Sharlee lived in Kalamazoo with their parents during the school year and spent their summers with their grandparents in New Jersey. Attending New York Yankees games with his grandparents, Jeter became a passionate fan of the team.[1][14] Watching Yankees player Dave Winfield inspired him to pursue baseball.[15]
Jeter attended Kalamazoo Central High School, where he played baseball and basketball. In his sophomore year at Kalamazoo Central, Jeter batted .557, followed by a .508 average in his junior year.[1] In his senior year, he batted .508 and compiled 23 runs batted in (RBI), 21 walks, four home runs, a .637 on-base percentage (OBP), a .831 slugging percentage (SLG), 12 stolen bases (in 12 attempts), and just one strikeout.[1]
Jeter received several honors after his senior season. These included an All-State honorable mention, distinguishing him as one of the best high school baseball players in Michigan, the Kalamazoo Area B'nai B'rith Award for Scholar Athlete, the 1992 High School Player of the Year Award from the American Baseball Coaches Association, the 1992 Gatorade High School Player of the Year award, and USA Today's High School Player of the Year.[1][2] Kalamazoo Central High School inducted Jeter into its Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003[16] and renamed its baseball field in his honor in 2011.[17] Jeter's baseball talents drew the attention of the University of Michigan, which offered him a baseball scholarship to attend and play college baseball for the Michigan Wolverines baseball team.[18]
As a scout for the Houston Astros, Hal Newhouser evaluated Jeter extensively prior to the 1992 MLB Draft. The Astros held the first overall pick in the draft, and Newhouser, convinced that Jeter would anchor a winning team, lobbied team management to select Jeter.[18] However, the Astros feared that Jeter would insist on a salary bonus of at least $1 million to forgo his college scholarship for a professional contract.[18] Consequently, the Astros passed on him in the draft, instead choosing Cal-State Fullerton outfielder Phil Nevin, who signed with Houston for $700,000.[18] Newhouser felt so strongly about Jeter's potential that he quit his job with Astros in protest after they ignored his drafting advice.[19]
The Yankees, who selected sixth, also rated Jeter highly.[20] Yankees scout Dick Groch, assigned to scout in the Midwest, watched Jeter participate in an all-star camp held at Western Michigan University.[21] Though Yankees officials were concerned that Jeter would attend college, Groch convinced them to select him. Regarding the possibility Jeter would attend Michigan, Groch said "the only place Derek Jeter's going is to Cooperstown", referring to the home city of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[22] The second through fifth picks were Paul Shuey, B. J. Wallace, Jeffrey Hammonds, and Chad Mottola.[23] The Yankees selected Jeter, who chose to turn professional and signed with the Yankees for $800,000.[24]
Jeter played four seasons in minor league baseball, then known as the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL). Jeter began the 1992 season with the Gulf Coast Yankees of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, based in Tampa, Florida. In his first professional game, Jeter batted 0-for-7 with five strikeouts.[25] Jeter struggled, batting .202 in 47 games.[18][25] Manager Gary Denbo benched Jeter in the season's final game to ensure his average would not drop below .200, known in baseball as the Mendoza Line.[26] In addition to being frustrated with his play, Jeter was homesick, accruing $400-per-month phone bills from daily calls to his parents.[24][25]
The Yankees promoted Jeter to the Greensboro Hornets of the Class A South Atlantic League (SAL) to allow him more at-bats.[25] He batted .247 in his first 11 games with Greensboro, making nine errors in 48 chances.[25] Weighing 156 pounds (71 kg), he did not have the appearance of the Yankees' future leader.[24] Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte, who played for the Hornets that season and, with Jeter and Mariano Rivera, would form the Yankees' Core Four, at first questioned the hype surrounding Jeter, but recognized his talent and poise.[25]
"If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose."
Jeter spent the next offseason focusing on improving his fielding.[18][26] Baseball America ranked Jeter as the 44th-best prospect in baseball prior to the 1993 season.[28] Returning to the Hornets in 1993, his first full season of professional baseball, he was voted the "Most Outstanding Major League Prospect" by SAL managers after hitting .295 with five home runs, 71 RBI and 18 stolen bases.[29] He was named to the All-Star team after finishing second in the league in triples (11), third in hits (152) and 11th in batting average. However, Jeter committed 56 errors, a SAL record.[26] Despite this, he was voted the SAL's Best Defensive Shortstop, Most Exciting Player, and Best Infield Arm by Baseball America.[2][30]
Coming off of his strong 1993 season, Baseball America rated Jeter as the 16th-best prospect in baseball.[28] Jeter played for the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League (FSL), the Albany-Colonie Yankees of the Class AA Eastern League, and the Columbus Clippers of the Class AAA International League during the 1994 season,[31] hitting .344 with five home runs, 68 RBI, and 50 stolen bases combined. He was honored with the Minor League Player of the Year Award by Baseball America, The Sporting News, USA Today, and Topps/NAPBL.[2][18] He was also named the most valuable player of the FSL.[2]
Considered the fourth-best prospect in baseball by Baseball America heading into the 1995 season,[28] the Yankees projected Jeter as their starting shortstop. However, he suffered mild inflammation in his right shoulder in the Arizona Fall League after the conclusion of the 1994 regular season, and as a precaution, the Yankees signed Tony Fernández to a two-year contract. With Fernández the starting shorstop, the Yankees assigned Jeter to Class AAA.[32] During MLB's 1994–95 work stoppage, the Yankees reportedly offered Jeter the opportunity to work out for the MLB team with replacement players in spring training prior to the 1995 season. Jeter declined, choosing not to cross the picket line.[32]
Due to injuries to Fernández and Pat Kelly early in the 1995 season, Jeter made his MLB debut on May 29, 1995.[33] The following day, he collected his first two major league hits and scored his first two career runs.[34] Jeter batted .234 and committed two errors in 13 games before being demoted to Class AAA Columbus.[35]
After Fernández batted a disappointing .245 and appeared in only 108 games due to injuries that season, incoming Yankees manager Joe Torre asserted that Jeter would be the starting shortstop for the 1996 season.[36][37] However, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, often skeptical of younger players, was not convinced. Clyde King, a close Steinbrenner advisor, observed Jeter for two days in spring training in 1996, and came away with the impression that Jeter was not yet ready.[38] To solidify the shortstop position after an injury to Fernández, Steinbrenner approved a trade that would have sent pitcher Mariano Rivera to the Seattle Mariners for shortstop Félix Fermín, but vice president of scouting Gene Michael and assistant general manager Brian Cashman convinced Steinbrenner to give Jeter an opportunity.[39]
Rated the sixth best prospect in baseball by Baseball America heading into the 1996 season,[28] the Yankees started Jeter at shortstop on Opening Day, the first Yankee rookie to do so since Tom Tresh in 1962.[1] He hit his first MLB home run that day. Jeter had a successful rookie season, winning Rookie of the Year honors after hitting for a .314 batting average, with 10 home runs, 104 runs scored, and 78 RBI.[40]
The Yankees made the 1996 postseason. During Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series (ALCS), with the Yankees trailing the Baltimore Orioles 4–3 in the 8th inning, Jeter hit a fly ball to right field that was ruled a home run by the umpires after twelve-year-old fan Jeffrey Maier reached over the wall to catch the ball. Right fielder Tony Tarasco claimed that he could have made the catch were it not for fan interference. Despite Tarasco's pleas with the umpires, the home run stood as called, tying the game. It marked the first home run of Jeter's postseason career. The Yankees won the game and defeated the Orioles in five games.[41] Overall, Jeter batted .361 in the 1996 postseason,[40] and the Yankees defeated the Atlanta Braves in the 1996 World Series to win their first championship since the 1978 World Series.[42]
Coming off of his Rookie of the Year campaign, Jeter headlined a group considered the "new crop" of shortstops, along with Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra, as the careers of older shortstops such as Cal Ripken, Jr., Barry Larkin, Ozzie Smith and Alan Trammell were concluding.[43] Prior to the 1997 season, Jeter and the Yankees agreed on a $540,000 contract with performance bonuses.[44] That year, Jeter batted .291, with 10 home runs, 70 RBI, 116 runs, and 190 hits.[40] Though he hit two home runs during the 1997 American League Division Series (ALDS), the Yankees lost to the Cleveland Indians 4 games to 2.[45]
Jeter earned $750,000 for the 1998 season.[46] That year, Jeter was selected for his first All-Star Game. On the season, he batted .324 with a league-leading 127 runs, 19 home runs, and 84 RBI,[40] for a team that won 114 games during the regular season and is widely considered to be one of the greatest of all time.[47][48] In the playoffs, Jeter hit only .176 in the ALDS and ALCS, but batted .353 in the World Series, as the Yankees defeated the San Diego Padres in four games.[49] At season's end, Jeter finished third in voting for the AL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award.[50]
Jeter and the Yankees went to salary arbitration before the 1999 season; the arbiter awarded Jeter a $5 million salary.[51] Jeter led the AL in hits that season with 219, while finishing second in the league in batting average (.349) and runs scored (134), appearing in his second All-Star game in the process.[40] Jeter, who for part of the year hit third in the batting order, also drove in 102 runs, becoming only the second Yankee shortstop to do so, following Lyn Lary's 107 RBI in 1931.[40] His season totals in batting average, runs, hits, runs batted in, doubles (37), triples (9), home runs (24), SLG (.552), and OBP (.438) are all personal bests.[40] In the postseason, Jeter batted .455 in the ALDS, .350 in the ALCS, and .353 in the World Series,[40] as the Yankees defeated the Braves to win another championship, Jeter's third.[52]
During the 1999–2000 offseason, the Yankees negotiated with Jeter, tentatively agreeing to a seven-year, $118.5 million contract.[53] Steinbrenner did not want to set a salary record and delayed a response while Juan González and the Detroit Tigers negotiated on a reported eight-year, $143 million contract extension. When that agreement fell through, so did Jeter's tentative deal. To avoid arbitration, Jeter and the Yankees agreed to a one-year deal worth $10 million.[53][54]
Jeter batted .339, leading the team, with 15 home runs, 73 RBI, 119 runs scored, and 22 stolen bases in the 2000 regular season.[40][53] Jeter recorded three hits, including a go-ahead two-run single, in the 2000 MLB All-Star Game. The performance earned him the All-Star Game MVP Award, the first time a Yankee won the award.[55] During the postseason, he batted only .211 in the Division Series but rebounded to hit .318 in the Championship Series against the Seattle Mariners, and .409 in the World Series against the New York Mets.[40] Jeter added two home runs, a triple, and two doubles in the World Series, including a leadoff home run on the first pitch of Game 4 and a triple later in the third inning.[56] His home run in Game 5 tied the game and extended his World Series hitting streak to 14 games.[57] The Yankees defeated the Mets in five games for their third consecutive title, and Jeter's fourth championship overall.[58] Jeter won the World Series MVP Award, becoming the only player to win the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in the same season.[59]
With one year remaining until he would become eligible for free agency, Jeter signed a ten-year, $189 million contract before the 2001 season to remain with the Yankees.[53] Rodriguez signed a ten-year $252 million contract earlier in the offseason, setting the market for Jeter's negotiations. Jeter became the second-highest-paid athlete, trailing only Rodriguez. The $18.9 million average annual value of Jeter's contract was the third highest in baseball, behind Rodriguez ($25.2 million) and Manny Ramirez ($20 million).[53]
In 2001, Jeter batted .311, with 21 home runs, 74 RBI, 110 runs scored, and 27 stolen bases, making his fourth All-Star appearance.[40] Jeter made a notable defensive play in Game 3 of the 2001 American League Division Series against the Oakland Athletics. With Jeremy Giambi on first base, Oakland right fielder Terrence Long hit a double off Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina into the right-field corner. As Giambi rounded third base and headed for home plate, Yankees right fielder Shane Spencer retrieved the ball and made a wild throw that missed cut-off man Tino Martinez and dribbled down the first-base line. Jeter ran from shortstop to grab the ball and flipped it to catcher Jorge Posada, who tagged Giambi out on the leg just before he crossed home plate, preserving the Yankees' one-run lead. Facing elimination, the Yankees eventually won the game, as well as the series. The play, known as "The Flip",[1] was later voted seventh in Baseball Weekly's 10 Most Amazing Plays of all time,[60] and won the 2002 Best Play ESPY Award.[61]
"I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams — I'm not knocking other teams — but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees."
As a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the start of the playoffs was delayed and the season's end was extended past the usual October timeframe. The Yankees advanced to the 2001 World Series to face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Game 4, which began on October 31, proceeded into the tenth inning with the score tied 3–3. At midnight, the Yankee Stadium scoreboard displayed the message, "Attention Fans, Welcome to NOVEMBER BASEBALL." This was the first time that any non-exhibition MLB game had been played in the month of November.[1] Moments later, Jeter hit a game-winning home run off of Byung-Hyun Kim. The words "Mr. November" flashed on the scoreboard, in reference to former Yankee Reggie Jackson's nickname, "Mr. October".[1] Despite Jeter's highlight moments that postseason, Jeter slumped at the plate; he denied injuries were a factor, though a fall into a photographer's box trying to catch a foul ball may have aggravated an earlier hamstring injury.[63] Jeter batted .148 in the World Series, as the Yankees lost in seven games.[64]
Jeter batted .297, with 18 home runs, 75 RBI, 124 runs scored, 191 hits, and a career-best 32 stolen bases during the 2002 regular season. He led the majors in stolen base percentage (91.4%), getting caught only three times. He made his fifth All-Star appearance.[40] In the 2002 postseason, the Anaheim Angels defeated the Yankees in the ALDS on their way to winning the World Series.[65]
On Opening Day of the 2003 season, Jeter dislocated his left shoulder when he collided with Blue Jays catcher Ken Huckaby at third base.[66] He was placed on the disabled list for six weeks and missed 36 games, having never played fewer than 148 games in the prior seven full seasons.[67] Jeter returned to bat .324, finishing third in batting average to Bill Mueller, who batted .326. Ramirez finished second.[68][69]
Steinbrenner named Jeter the 11th recognized captain in Yankees history on June 3, 2003, following eight seasons without a captain after Don Mattingly retired in 1995.[3] That postseason, Jeter batted .314 with two home runs, five RBI and 10 runs scored across 17 playoff games,[69] including three hits in Game 3 of the 2003 World Series against the Florida Marlins – the only three hits Josh Beckett allowed during the game – to lead the Yankees to a 2 games to 1 series lead.[70] However, Jeter went 0-for-4 with a crucial error in a Game 6 loss, and the Marlins won the series in six games.[69]
"Even when we were winning, I said it's not easy to win a championship. It doesn't happen year after year, so you learn to appreciate how tough it is when you lose."
The Yankees acquired Rodriguez from the Texas Rangers during the 2003–04 offseason, leading to speculation that the Yankees would move Jeter from shortstop, as Rodriguez had two Gold Glove Awards at shortstop and Jeter had none. The Yankees insisted that Jeter would remain the team's starting shortstop, with Rodriguez moving to third base.[71] The 2004 season began with Jeter mired in a slump, at one point getting only one hit in a span of 36 at-bats; through April, he batted .168. However, his batting average improved to .277 by the All-Star break in July.[72]
During a July 1, 2004 game against the rival Boston Red Sox, with the score tied at 3 in the top of the 12th inning, the Red Sox had runners on second and third with 2 outs and right fielder Trot Nixon up at bat. Nixon hit a pop fly down the left field line. Jeter ran from his position at shortstop and made an over-the-shoulder catch. He launched himself over the third-base side railing, landing three rows into the left-field seats, and lacerating his chin and bruising his face in the process. Jeter was later taken out of the game. This catch ended the inning, and later the Yankees went on to win the game in the bottom of the 13th inning.[73] For the play, Jeter was awarded Play Of The Year in the This Year In Baseball awards competition, as voted on by fans at MLB.com.[74]
Jeter made the All-Star team and finished the season with a .292 average; 23 home runs, the second-most of his career; 78 RBI; 111 runs scored; and a career-best 44 doubles, which broke a Yankee single-season record for doubles by a shortstop, besting Tony Kubek's 38 in 1961.[40][75] He batted .316 with a team-leading four RBI as the Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins in the 2004 ALDS, and were poised to face the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS.[76] However, Jeter struggled, batting .200 with one extra-base hit, as the Yankees lost the series to the Red Sox in seven games, despite winning the first three games.[77] Following the 2004 season, Jeter was presented with his first Gold Glove Award.[78]
Jeter hit his first and only grand slam, after 10 years in MLB, on June 18, 2005 against the Chicago Cubs. At one point, Jeter had the most at bats of any active player not to have hit a grand slam.[79] Jeter was second in the AL in runs scored (122) in the 2005 season,[80] and was third in the league in both at bats (654) and hits (202). Jeter won his second consecutive Gold Glove in 2005.[81] Though Jeter batted .333 during the 2005 ALDS, the Yankees lost to the Angels.[82]
Without center fielder Bernie Williams, Torre reportedly considered moving Jeter or Rodriguez to center field in 2006.[83] Instead, the Yankees signed Johnny Damon to play center field and lead off, with Jeter batting second in the lineup.[84] During the 2006 season, Jeter recorded his 2,000th career hit on May 26, becoming the eighth Yankee to reach the milestone.[85] Jeter finished the season second in the AL in both batting average (.343) and runs scored (118), third in hits (214), stolen base success percentage (87.2), and batting average with runners in scoring position (.381), fourth in OBP (.417), and fifth in infield hits (26), earning his seventh All-Star selection.[40][86][87] Jeter batted .500 with one home run in the 2006 ALDS, including a 5-for-5 performance in Game 1, making him the sixth player to record five hits in one postseason game.[88] However, the Yankees lost to the Detroit Tigers, 3 games to 1.[82]
Jeter finished second in the 2006 AL MVP Award voting to Justin Morneau of the Twins (320 points to 306 points).[89] It was his sixth top-10 finish in the MVP balloting in 11 full seasons through 2006.[40] Though he lost the MVP Award, he won the Hank Aaron Award, given for superior offensive performance.[86]
Jeter finished the 2007 season third in the AL with 203 hits, his third consecutive, and sixth overall season with at least 200 hits. He also finished fourth in both at-bats (639) and plate appearances (714), sixth in times on base (276), and ninth in batting average (.322).[90] He was selected for his eighth All-Star appearance.[40] In the field, he was involved in turning a career-high 104 double plays.[40] However, he struggled during the 2007 ALDS, batting 3-for-17 (.176) with one RBI, as the Indians defeated the Yankees.[82]
Jeter's slugging percentage (SLG) dropped to .410 in the 2008 season, his lowest mark since 1997.[40] One possible cause was a prolonged slump that he suffered after being hit by a pitch on his wrist.[91] Before the injury, Jeter was hitting .324 with a .774 on-base plus slugging (OPS). After the injury, his batting average dipped to as low as .269 by the end of the month.[40] His offense took an upward turn after May as he hit .322 with a .824 OPS after June 1.[40] Jeter was elected to his ninth All-Star game as the starting shortstop.[92]
Jeter tied Lou Gehrig's record for hits at Yankee Stadium (1,269) with a home run off Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price on September 14, 2008.[93] On September 16, he broke the record against Chicago White Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd.[94] Despite Jeter's strong September showing, the Yankees were eliminated from postseason contention,[95] the only full season in Jeter's career where he did not compete in the playoffs. Following the final game in Yankee Stadium history, Jeter made an impromptu on-field speech, thanking the Yankees fans for their support and asking them to pass on their memories from the venue while making new memories at the new Yankee Stadium.[96]
Jeter saluting the crowd after becoming the all-time Yankees hits leader.
For the 2009 season, Yankees manager Joe Girardi switched Jeter and Damon in the batting order, with Damon moving to second and Jeter to the leadoff role, based on the rationale that Jeter had a higher OBP than Damon, but grounded into double plays more often.[97] Jeter batted .334, third best in the AL, with a .406 OBP, 18 home runs, 30 stolen bases in 35 attempts, 107 runs scored, and 212 hits (second in MLB).[40] During the season, the Sporting News named Jeter eighth on their list of the 50 greatest current players in baseball.[98]
Jeter achieved two career hit milestones in the second half of the 2009 season. On August 16, 2009, against the Seattle Mariners, Jeter doubled down the right-field line for his 2,675th hit as a shortstop, breaking Luis Aparicio's previous record for the most hits by a shortstop in major league history.[99] Then, Jeter became the all-time hits leader as a member of the Yankees (2,722), passing Lou Gehrig on September 11, 2009. The hit was a single off Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman in the third inning.[100]
In the 2009 postseason, Jeter batted .355, including .407 in the 2009 World Series,[40] as he won his fifth World Series championship. He was named Sportsman of the Year for 2009 by Sports Illustrated.[101] Jeter also finished third in the AL MVP voting, behind Minnesota's Joe Mauer and teammate Mark Teixeira.[102]
The 2010 season was statistically Jeter's worst in many respects.[103] The Yankee captain batted .270 with a .340 OBP and .370 SLG and an Adjusted OPS of 90, his first full season with an OPS+ below 100. Despite this, Jeter was elected to start at shortstop in the All-Star Game.[104] He rebounded to bat .342 in his last 79 at-bats after making adjustments to his swing.[105] Following the season, Jeter won his fifth Gold Glove award.[106] He committed six errors during the season, his lowest total in 15 full seasons.[107]
"He might go down, when it's all over, as the all-time Yankee."
After the 2010 season, Jeter became a free agent for the first time in his career. He reached an agreement with the Yankees on a three-year contract with an option for a fourth year.[108][109] Jeter spent the offseason continuing to make adjustments in his swing.[110]
Jeter began the 2011 season batting .260 with a .649 OPS.[111] He broke Rickey Henderson's franchise record for stolen bases when he stole his 327th base against the Mariners on May 28, 2011.[112] Jeter suffered a calf injury on June 13 that required his fifth career 15-day disabled list stint, and his first since 2003.[113][114] Rehabilitating from his injury in Tampa, Jeter worked on his swing with Denbo.[115][116] Following his activation from the disabled list, he hit .326 with an .806 OPS in his last 64 games of the season.[111] Jeter finished the year with a .297 batting average, 6 home runs, 61 runs batted in, 84 runs, and 16 stolen bases.[40] He credited the turnaround to his work with Denbo.[115]
Jeter crosses home plate after recording his 3000th hit, his teammates waiting to congratulate him.
Jeter recorded his 3,000th career hit, a home run in the third inning of an afternoon game against David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays on July 9, 2011. Jeter finished the day with five hits in five at bats, the second player to have five hits on the day he achieved his 3,000th hit (the first was Craig Biggio).[117] The last of Jeter's five hits proved to be the game-winning hit. He is the only member of the 3,000 hit club to record all of his hits with the New York Yankees, the only player to record his 3,000th hit as a Yankee, and one of only two players (the other being Wade Boggs) to hit a home run for his 3,000th hit.[118] Jeter became the second player to reach 3,000 career hits while still a regular shortstop (the first was Honus Wagner).[119][120][a] Only Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Robin Yount were younger than Jeter on the day of their 3,000th hit.[119] MLB and HBO produced Deter Jeter 3K, a documentary that profiles his path to 3,000 hits, which originally aired on July 28, 2011.[123]
Jeter finished the 2011 season with 162 hits, his 16th consecutive season with 150 hits, which tied him with Pete Rose for the second most consecutive 150 hit seasons, one behind Hank Aaron for the MLB record.[124] Jeter was honored with the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, given in recognition of charitable endeavors.[125]
Despite concerns that Jeter's age might catch up to him in 2012, the beginning of the 2012 season saw Jeter on a hot streak: he batted .411 through April 23.[126] Rodriguez commented that Jeter is playing as he did in 1999, while Girardi said Jeter looks like he is 25 years old.[127]
Jeter started at shortstop for the United States national baseball team in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. He hit 9-for-20 (.450) and scored five runs in six games. Only Ken Griffey, Jr. (.524) and Yoandy Garlobo (.480) had a higher batting average with a minimum of 20 at bats.[128] Jeter's play earned him recognition as the shortstop selection on the All-Tournament Team.[129]
In the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Jeter again started at shortstop. He was named captain of the United States team by manager Davey Johnson,[130] and he batted 8-for-29 (.276) in eight games.[131] Jeter and the United States team faced the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field in an exhibition game, the first and only time Jeter played against the Yankees.[132]
Jeter is considered to be one of the most consistent baseball players of all time. Jeter has only played fewer than 148 games a season once in his career, when he dislocated his left shoulder on Opening Day 2003. He has an average of 194 hits, 118 runs scored and 23 stolen bases per year over the course of 152 games played.[133]
"Derek Jeter has always been above the fray. As someone who’s wallowed in it, “foot-in-mouthed” it hundreds of times, said dumb things and backed up dumber ones, it’s refreshing. He’s shown up, played, and turned in a first-ballot Hall of Fame career in the hardest environment in sports to do any/all of the above."
An aggressive hitter, Jeter swings at most pitches in the strike zone, and many near it.[18] Though right-handed hitters often pull the ball into left field, Jeter's signature inside-out swing, also called the "Jeterian Swing",[135] results in a large portion of hits to center and right field, a trend that has remained consistent throughout his career. He has more home runs to the opposite field than to center or to left, using his swing to take advantage of the short right-field fences at both the old and new Yankee Stadiums.[136] His swing enables him to get hits even when he is slumping.[18]
Jeter is also known for his professionalism. In an age where professional athletes often find themselves in personal scandals, Jeter has avoided major controversy in a high profile career in New York City while maintaining a strong work ethic.[6][9][12][137] Due to his style of play, opponents and teammates hold Jeter in high esteem.[6][134] Always respectful, he referred to Torre as "Mr. Torre".[46] A clubhouse leader, Jeter diffuses confrontations between teammates.[6]
Jeter is noted for his postseason performances, and has earned the titles of "Captain Clutch", and "Mr. November" due to his postseason heroics.[4][5][138][139] He has a career .309 postseason batting average, and a .351 batting average in the World Series. Except for 2008, the Yankees have been to the postseason every year since Jeter joined the team. Jeter holds MLB postseason records for games played (152), plate appearances (679), at-bats (559), hits (191), doubles (31), runs scored (107), total bases (290) and strikeouts (125). Jeter is also third in triples (4), third in home runs (20), fourth in runs batted in (59), fifth in base on balls (64) and sixth stolen bases (18).[40]
Jeter practices fielding in August 2011
Jeter has won five Gold Glove Awards. Despite this, Jeter's defense has been the subject of criticism from a number of sabermetricians, including Rob Neyer and the publication Baseball Prospectus.[140][141][142] The book The Fielding Bible by John Dewan contains an essay by Bill James in which he concludes that Jeter "was probably the most ineffective defensive player in the major leagues, at any position."[143] A 2008 study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that, from 2002 through 2005, Jeter was the worst defensive shortstop in MLB.[144] Two sites that rely on advanced defensive statistics, FanGraphs.com and FieldingBible.com, rated Jeter below middle-of-the-pack status in 2010, despite his receiving his fifth Gold Glove Award that season.[145][146]
Jeter committed 18 errors in 2007, his highest total since finishing with 24 in 2000.[147] After the season, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and his staff saw Jeter's defense as an area that needed to be addressed.[148] At the Yankees' request, Jeter embarked on a rigorous training program to combat the effects of age, by focusing on lateral movement and first-step quickness.[149] Jeter's ultimate zone rating (UZR) improved from worst in the AL for shortstops in 2007 to close to league average in 2008.[148]
When asked to responded to criticism of his defense, Jeter replied: "I play in New York, man. Criticism is part of the game, you take criticism as a challenge."[147] Jeter further asserted that many defensive factors cannot be quantified.[107] The controversy over Jeter's fielding has become a flash point for the debate over whether the analyses of statistics or subjective observation is the better method to assess a player's defensive ability, and for criticism of the Gold Glove Award.[150]

- Jeter became the Yankees' all-time hits leader on September 11, 2009, surpassing Gehrig with his 2,722nd hit, a single to right field off of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman in the third inning.[100]
- Jeter, along with Posada and Rivera, became the first teammates in any of the four major league sports in North America (MLB, NFL, NBA, or NHL) to play in at least 16 seasons on the same team as teammates in 2010.[162]
- Jeter compiled his 3,000th hit (including the postseason) with a solo home run in the first inning against the Houston Astros on June 12, 2010. The hit also tied him with Rickey Henderson as the all-time Yankees leader in leadoff home runs.[163]
- Jeter stole his 327th base on May 28, 2011, breaking Henderson's franchise record for stolen bases.[112]

Jeter maintains a penthouse apartment in Manhattan's Trump World Tower and homes in Marlboro, New Jersey, Greenwood Lake, New York,[167] and the Davis Islands neighborhood of Tampa, Florida.[168] Regarding his official residence, Jeter settled a tax dispute with the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance in 2008.[169] New York State alleged that Jeter should have paid state income tax from 2001 to 2003, as Jeter bought a Manhattan apartment in 2001; Jeter established his residence in Tampa, Florida, in 1994 and claimed that he was still a resident of Florida at the time. Florida has no state income tax.[170][171]
Jeter's personal life has been a frequent topic in gossip columns and celebrity magazines since his rookie year in 1996. He had a well-publicized relationship with pop diva Mariah Carey from 1997 to 1998.[1][172] Jeter has also dated former Miss Universe Lara Dutta,[1][173] singer Joy Enriquez,[174] actress Jordana Brewster,[1][175] television personality Vanessa Minillo,[172] actress Jessica Biel,[176][177] and actress Minka Kelly.[178][179][180]
In December 2002, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner criticized Jeter for staying out until 3 a.m. at a birthday party during the 2002 season, saying that his star shortstop "wasn't totally focused" and that "it didn't sit well" with him.[18] The two mocked the incident in a May 2003 VISA commercial,[65] similar to the manner in which Steinbrenner and former Yankees manager Billy Martin made light of their feud in a Miller Lite commercial during the 1970s.[181]
Jeter is a close personal friend of Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and served as best man at Posada's wedding.[182] He has also renewed his close friendship with teammate Alex Rodriguez after a rift between them developed several years ago.[183]
Jeter created the Turn 2 Foundation, a charitable organization, in 1996. The Foundation was established to help children and teenagers avoid drug and alcohol addiction, and to reward those who show high academic achievement. The organization's name derives from the baseball double play (where "turning two" refers to making two outs on one play) and indicates the goal of the Foundation to give youths a place to "turn to" instead of drugs and alcohol.[184] Jeter received an honorary doctorate from Siena College honoring him for his foundation's work.[185]
Jeter joking with other players during Spring Training.
During the 2009 season, Jeter and Mets star David Wright represented their foundations in a competition sponsored by Delta Air Lines; the player with the highest batting average received $100,000 for their foundation from Delta, while the runner-up's foundation received $50,000.[186] Wright's group, the David Wright Foundation, focuses on multiple sclerosis.[187]
Jeter also serves as an ambassador for Weplay, a website designed to encourage children to get involved in sports.[188]
Jeter has appeared in national ad campaigns for Nike, Gatorade, Fleet Bank, Discover Card, Florsheim, Gillette Fusion, VISA, Skippy, Ford, and XM Satellite Radio.[189][190][191] He endorses a cologne named Driven, designed in collaboration with and distributed by Avon.[192] Jeter has his own Jumpman shoe.[193]
In 2006, Jeter was the second-highest paid endorser in baseball, having earned $7 million in endorsements.[194] He was ranked as the most marketable player in baseball according to the 2005[195] and 2010 Sports Business Surveys.[196] A 2011 list by the marketing firm Nielsen ranked Jeter as the most marketable player in baseball, accounting for personal attributes such as sincerity, approachability, experience, and influence.[197]
Jeter has appeared on television in Seinfeld and as a host on Saturday Night Live.[198] He had cameo appearances in the comedy films Anger Management and The Other Guys.[199] His likeness was seen briefly on The Simpsons during the eighth episode of season 19, titled "Funeral for a Fiend", in which he was parodied as a guest star on Sesame Street. Jeter was the subject of a 2005 segment on the TV news magazine 60 Minutes.[12]
Video games have featured Jeter on their cover, including 2K Sports' MLB 2K5, MLB 2K6, and MLB 2K7,[200][201] Acclaim Entertainment's All-Star Baseball series of video games,[202] and Gameloft's wireless phone baseball game, Derek Jeter Pro Baseball 2008.[203] There is a wax figure of Jeter at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York,[204] and a sculpture at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory in Louisville, Kentucky.[205]
- ^ Though Honus Wagner was primarily a shortstop, he also played other infield positions as well as the outfield. Cal Ripken reached 3,000 after he had moved to third base. Robin Yount reached the milestone after moving to center field, where he spent almost half his career.[120][121] Some consider Jeter the third regular shortstop to reach 3,000 along with Wagner and Ripken.[121][122]
