Jeter remains one of the game's premier hitters, especially for a shortstop.

Jeter had another fantastic year in 2006. His defense has always been (sometimes vastly) overrated by fans and journalists, but his hitting can be occasionally underappreciated as well.

Derek Jeter was born in Pequannock, New Jersey to Charles and Dorothy Jeter; however, most of his childhood was spent in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Jeter was a star baseball player at Kalamazoo Central High School, where he also played basketball, and in 1992 he was named High School Player of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Although he received a baseball scholarship to attend the University of Michigan, he was drafted by the New York Yankees in the first round of the 1992 amateur draft. He is often considered one of the most "clutch" players in Major League history, although statisticians find this specious. Most likely, it is a result of him joining the Yankees in 1996, during the first of their four World Series victories to close out the millennium.

Career Highlights
Jeter made his major league debut on May 29, 1995. He earned Rookie of the Year honors in his first full season, 1996, in which he had a .314 batting average. During the 8th inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series that year, Jeter was awarded a home run on a memorable and controversial play. Jeter hit a pitch to the right field wall that was pulled into the stands by a 12-year-old spectator, thereby depriving Oriole outfielder Tony Tarasco the opportunity of making a play. Despite protests from the Orioles, the home run call was upheld, which allowed the Yankees to tie and eventually win the game in extra innings.
Jeter has maintained his success on the field. During the 1998 season, Jeter batted .324, led the American League with 127 runs, earned his first All-Star appearance, and placed 3rd in the AL MVP voting.
1999 showed more progress, as Jeter reached career highs in batting average, home runs, RBIs and walks, and led the AL in hits with 219. During the 2000 season, he was voted the MVP of the All-Star Game and the World Series.
The Yankees named Jeter the 11th captain in Yankees history on June 3, 2003.
The 2004 season was quite a rollercoaster for Jeter statistically. Early in the year, he had a mysterious 0-for-27 slump and inexplicably was hitting .198 after the first two months of the season. However, he later recovered and ended the year with 23 home runs and a .292 batting average.
In 2004 and 2005 Jeter won the American League Gold Glove Award.
Jeter in the Playoffs
Throughout his career, Jeter has been known as one of the best postseason players in baseball history. Since arriving in the majors in 1996, Jeter has played in the playoffs every year, and was a member of 6 American League Championship teams and 4 World Series Championship teams. Jeter's personal postseason performance has been a major factor in the Yankees' success. As of 2005, Jeter has a career .306 postseason batting average.
Some of Jeter's most memorable moments have come in postseason play. These include the aforementioned eighth inning, game-tying faux home run against Baltimore in Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS and his game-winning, tenth-inning home run off Arizona's Byung-Hyun Kim in Game 4 of the 2001 World Series, as well as one of the most unique and improbable defensive plays in postseason history: Jeter ranged far out of position to intercept an errant relay throw from the outfield, and flipped it underhanded, shuffle-pass style, to home plate, just in time throw out the Oakland A's Jeremy Giambi and preserve the Yankees 1-0 win in Game 3 of the 2001 ALDS.
