Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
Over the last several years, that's what he's become, and I don't expect it to change. He's now the most extreme ground-ball hitter in baseball, but he also has a consistently high BABIP. He doesn't get many extra-base hits and he hits into lots of double plays, but he's still a good singles hitter.

Till this day I remember Jeter's birthday because it was usually right in line with the last day of school give or take a day when I was in Elementary School and Middle School.

With two Singles last night, the Captain passed Paul Molitor, and entered the top ten for Singles in MLB history!

Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
If you told me Jeter would be hitting over .300 in late June back in March I'd have taken it. But after the great start he go off to, .300 is a bit of a let down.
And Maynerd, the fact that he doesn't get a great deal of extra base hits isn't all that impressive to me.Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.

Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
Jeter is actually hitting more GBs than he ever has in his career (1.98 GB/FB, 3.43 GO/AO are both career highs).
The early season surge was mostly supported by nearly .400 BABIP with grounders (over .400 overall). That was never gonna last.

Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
I was raised on Mickey Mantle, and watching him pass most of the (then) top ten on the HR list was a thrill beyond words. Yeah. I get it. Singles aren't sexy. But, even if it's a less-than-sexy counting stat, when you reach the point you've done something more often than only a small handful of Hall of Famers (and Pete Rose), I think it's noteworthy, and worth celebrating.

101 OPS+
Now that's what you expect from a 38 years old SS.

Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
Today he had 3 hits for the first time since May 23. He ended a streak of 37 consecutive games with 2 hits or fewer.

Re: 2012 Derek Jeter Performance Thread
Yes, assuming a slick-fielding shortstop, which was more highly valued than offensive production from the position back in the day. Ed Brinkman or Mark Belanger would have had to add two seasons together to get to 101 OPS+, but Jeter never had the glove either of them did.
