Derek Jeter
Biography
Derek Jeter is an American former baseball shortstop and executive whose 20 seasons in Major League Baseball were all spent with the New York Yankees. The Yankees drafted him in 1992, and he reached the majors in 1995 at age 20. He went on to become the Yankees' regular shortstop, was a unanimous choice for American League Rookie of the Year, and helped the club win the 1996 World Series. A five-time World Series champion, he won the MVP awards of both the All-Star Game and the World Series in 2000, the only player to earn both in one season. He served as the Yankees' captain from 2003 to his retirement in 2014 and is the club's career leader in hits, with 3,465, along with doubles, games played and stolen bases. His honors include 14 All-Star selections and five Gold Glove Awards. He was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 in his first year of eligibility.
