## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Derek Jeter

Jeter is regarded as one of the best fielders in the game, easy to play with as a user, and a menace to face as an opponent. His 98 throwing strength and his 95 glove allow him to scoop up most ground balls and throw out base runners easily. At the plate, his bat is consistent, with 79 batting power and 72 contact. He has decent speed at 81, but below average stamina at 48.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

In the inaugural BBL draft, Derek was taken 2nd overall by coach Yurya of the Monsters. He certainly lived up to the high draft pick, leading the Monsters in batting average, stolen bases, and runs scored. Derek finished 3rd in MVP voting and was one of three co-Goldie Glove award winners.

#### Season 2

Yurya was lucky enough to draft Jeter in the first round again, this time with the 7th overall pick for the Monsters. Overall, Derek put up slightly worse numbers than the season before, although he did improve in doubles, triples, and RBIs. Derek finished tied for 5th in MVP voting.

#### Season 3

Even with the expanded player field, Yurya could not have the Monsters without Jeter, and he took D.J. with the 3rd overall pick in the draft. Jeter put up his best season yet, batting 0.700 while smacking 17 home runs and driving in 63 runs.

#### Season 4

For the first time in BBL history, Jeter did not play for Yurya and the Monsters, as he was drafted 19th overall by coach Ellman of the Indians. Ironically, Yurya originally held the 19th overall pick but traded it away. Derek's offensive numbers were a little bit down, although he did lead the Indians in home runs.

#### Season 5

Coach GSchlim of the Brewers drafted Derek with the 12th overall pick in the Season 5 draft. Derek led the team in batting average and runs scored, and played a mean shortstop once again.

#### Season 6

In Season 6, Jeter went 13th overall to coach Nick Foles is my dad of the Athletics. For the first time in BBL history, Derek was teammates with Reese Worthington, which gives Reese a boost in the 2003 version of the game. Once again, Jeter led his team in batting average and runs scored, and he also led his team in stolen bases this season.

#### Season 7

Derek was taken 12th overall by coach shrewsbury91 of the Reds. The Reds had a terrible year, going 3-11, but Jeter was a rare bright spot. He led the team with a 0.660 batting average and 29 RBIs.

#### Season 8

Impressed with his Season 7, shrewsbury91 took Jeter even earlier this season, this time with the 6th overall pick for the Expos. This season, the Expos' roster construction was a little better, and Jeter didn't have to do everything on offense. But his impeccable defense was necessary, as the Expos' home field was the bumpy Dirt Yards. Derek stole 9 bases this season, and the rest of the Expos combined for just 3 steals.

#### Season 9

Rebooting an old trend, coach Yurya of the Monsters reunited with Derek for the first time since Season 3, drafting him 13th overall. Derek was the cornerstone of the Monsters' stifling defense, earning an all-star nomination and the Goldie Glove Award.
