Jeter would have diamond fielding
-
Anyone who tries to tell you bronze fielding is being dumb or intentionally ignorant, Jeter’s dWAR was poor because of his range factor, not his fielding percentage. Range factor is represented by the reaction stat, not the fielding stat, so if you really want to be annoying and nit picky about what his stats would be, it’s more accurate for him to have like 90 fielding with 50 reaction
-
Oh no Jeter haters won’t be happy about this one
-
76 fielding 70 arm with 73 acc and 68 rec if real and not boosted. The plus 5s would help

Rare Tylerslikewhoa L.
His fielding % was great, it was his range that made his defense poor. Fielding stat has nothing to with range
-
Just telling you how I see it. No hate he gets gold fielding after his plus 5 I believe if not boosted by SDS

Ok 89 fielding then with low reaction, that’s fair
-
SDS ratings will be 125 con R/L 125 pow R/L 125 clutch 99 fld 99 speed first maxed out card EVER. Sad thing is no Jeter coming

A simple Google and...
"Jeter is the worst defensive player of all time by advanced defensive metrics, with a career Defensive Runs Saved total of -155. Yep, you read that right, the master of the acrobatic play that we have all come to attach his name to ended his career negative 155 defensive runs saved."

And if you look into DRS it’s because of his poor range factor… represented in game by the reaction stat, not the fielding stat. So nice try boss

is this the diamond fielding Jeter you talk about?

He was more of a clutch, smart fielder. From the flip play vs. Oakland, to the dive into the stands. More clutch than elite in my opinion
-
Or are you maybe referring to this gem?

Best part of this one is he just walks away lol. There's tons of other highlights just like these 2 instances.

Definitely clutch, I don't think people really debate that but he just wasn't a good fielder.

Best part of this one is he just stands there for a few seconds looking at Rodriguez lol. There's tons of other highlights just like these 2 instances.
Posts 2 videos to call him a bad fielder LOL could do that for literally any player
-
For comparison Michael Young is a few spots ahead of Jeter on career fielding percent at SS and his Signature series card(which is supposed to be whole career) has 83 fielding. So I would say Jeter tops out at 80 at best.

I agree he had poor range, as represented by the reaction stat in the game, the fielding stat is fielding percentage which he was fine at.
You’re arguing with someone who doesn’t disagree with you

Sure he did well when he got to a ball. Sure he can have 90 fielding. But that reaction is the worst of all time at his position. I’m a diehard Yankees fan. I love Jeter. When people bring up his defense I don’t even try to defend it. Anyone biting on OP’s statement, just let it be.

Ok fair enough, I'm just saying probably not a diamond fielder but you've back tracked and said gold would be fine so I'll drop it. I'm not going to sit here and say he wasn't amazing because he was, he had the uncanny ability to up his game when it mattered most and if you were a fan of the opposing team you hated seeing him in the lineup.
