Derek Jeter at Age 15 - Weplay

[monster37ify]

funny he has a-rod's number

[theFRESHmanMohigan]

Ironic that the other team was wearing pinstripes

[cshoniber]

0:31 anyone go yard to center on that field?

[Coilingtechcom]

hahaha so weird

[mgp0001]

any one els notesed that he played 3ed and is number 13? if u know the yankees then youed know why im pointing that out

[newyorkfan1616]

@mgp0001 A-BUM

[SexiLexi5240]

It was amazing too see him play!

[reaperrider1]

I wonder how bad ass that shortstop feels now...

[BaseballBreaker]

its so weird to think that he was like everyone else just playing baseball and those people playing with or against him had no idea he would be one of the most renown players in baseball

[MrCole1897]

Shityy baseball field

[railfanatic844]

ironic that jeter's throw has never changed.

[Calibersz]

@railfanatic844 Jeter throws more from the side now than over the top. Way different from back then.

The only thing he does similar is how he lets go of the bat after getting a hit, and even then it's pretty different.

[BaseballBomber69]

HIGHLIGHTS!?!?!

[TheJrad03]

does anyone else think its weird that hes # 13 ans plays 3rd base

[wonderwatch101]

@SickBroProductions Derek was born and

[SickBroProductions]

thats weird i couldve sworn derek jeter was on the Dr phillips high school baseball team in highschool in orlando. that doesnt look like the feild at our school...

[ajs1850]

@SickBroProductions jeter played for Kalamazoo Central in Kalamazoo Michigan....

[SomeKidNamedOmar]

@SickBroProductions he is from kalamazoo

[trampolineninja100]

@nsd1901 cool!!

[moneyrains7]

you can tell its jeter he has the same run and everythig

[RockenDokkenlover91]

I assume Derek Jeter's daddy was the coach of the team right?

[GuachiqueLuis]

[mgp0001]

[ThePokemonbaseball]

@mgp0001 heck yea rangers will win ws BUT WHY DID YANKIES LOSE WHY??????????

[mgp0001]

[ThePokemonbaseball]

@mgp0001 yea arod is still good not as good though but is mark texara doing good and yankies NEED buster posey he would be good

[mgp0001]

@ThePokemonbaseball yeah is still the mark teixiera we all know and love but he sent alot of tex messages out of the park (he hit a lot of home runs) and also who's buster posey??? oh and it would be cool if we had nelson cruz join the yankees but thats not happenen anytime soon. but we do need pitchers!!

[mgp0001]

@ThePokemonbaseball well im aiming there too and what do u mean no wer aiming for the same team its not a compitition unless wer going towrds the same position,thats a diffrent story. wat position do u play?

@ThePokemonbaseball sorry they didint go cardinals

[fartman7890]

All yall are stupid hes getting old and thats why hes not all that great anymore but trust me hell be a lot better then all yall will ever be

[TheHarlandMan]

@fartman7890 r u a fucking hick?

[fartman7890]

@TheHarlandMan yes

[bturner20]

He sure runs the same way and does that stupid bat flip the same even 20 years later.

[ElGatoLoco698]

Jeter is so over rated.

[AS5kickenmnky]

@ElGatoLoco698 how is he overrated he has 3000 hits

[ElGatoLoco698]

@AS5kickenmnky Michael Young from the Rangers has 3,000 hits also. Jeter is an an average defensive player. His batting average is good but not great. His slugging percentage is average. His speed is average. RBI's good but not the great. Runs score is good. Plus, from what I hear, he's the biggest prissy in baseball.

[bob75ify]

@ElGatoLoco698 michael young only has 2000 hits he got to 2000 like a month ago

[AS5kickenmnky]

@AS5kickenmnky what? michael young has only 2000 hits

[yankeefan2203]

d -jeter is awesome but vid is tupid

[ThePudge13]

for those of you who are saying this isnt derek jeter, your wrong.. it is. he wore number 13 because he wanted the same number that he had for basketball. he didnt get number 2 until he got drafted by the yankees. he played third because he was 15 playing on an 18u team and the shortstop was a senior in high school. and those of you who are saying "he has arods number" have to be the stupidest people ive ever seen...

[ceologreen]

@cubbie2512 isnt it even more ironic that the team i play on im number 13 and play 3rd base AND WAIT FOR IT im 13 lol now thts ironic

[yoohoofan13]

that outfield wasnt even flat

[IAmTheWage]

I love how he still leaves the box the same way

[ismokeot420420]

dude the center-fielder was almost in the infield...big stadium much??

[ELTRANKYY]

he swings like 1940..

[skaterbouyheisheckac]

@ELTRANKYY hahaha i know wat u mean lol

[ELTRANKYY]

@skaterbouyheisheckac jajaj XD

[jordy65056]

ia that true?that was jeter?

[kylejwalsh]

haha #13 playing 3rd base wow

[peterganna]

3000 HITS FOR JETER DJ 3K

[MrUptown25]

were either of those at bats a hit?

[rikkieatspie]

so he can field and hit. im impressed

[DiscoSprinkles]

i like how the coach is dressed up in a uniform too. now a days the coach only wears the team hat..

[ChadDCherry]

haha he threw the bat off to the side like he does now!

[mymomsaysimweird]

sucks because of rain delay in the game tonight.. .. im 15 and i play on a field about the same size.

[mymomsaysimweird]

sucks because of rain delay in the game tonight..



[NYYfan4life100]

he is 2 hits away from 3000 hope he gets it 2 night

[G3kDxScOpEzz]

@NYYfan4life100 i love how the 3000 hit was a homer and he had a bomb game ps.im a yankee fan also

[BCNation1]

WOW!:D<3

[Yankeerob17]

this really could be anybody... shitty footage

[tstruss912]

Ringer!  Ringer! That's Derek Jeter!

[sgtsprnkls]

holy shit hes 15 and playin on a field that is 421 ft

[bravesxx10]

@sgtsprnkls im 14 and i play 410 dead center 330 down the lines (^.^)

[Smitherines161]

@bravesxx10 13 385 ft

[bslubeast]

weird...he was # 13 and played third...

[MrSpazzer5]

he was good as a kid and still good now

[uknowwho4235]

i played against that team this year

[FenwayFrankNews]

not on the pinstripe team. nice

[JPMJ1996]

isnt the kid black though?

[mikemarc92]

@JPMJ1996 -- Jeter is like 70% percent black fool

[TheAclark109]

@mikemarc92

no wayyyy really??!!

[dj1lov3]

you can already tell he's developing into something special with that arm.

[baseballkid1031]

Still throws the bat the same way ^__^

[martyjentsch]

the foul territory on this field is fucking massive, holy shit

[coolsteven1201]

0:16 that throw and follow-through reminds me of myself when im playing third and short stop

[Taxi502]

this is so awesome! it encapsulates jeter's whole career, hitting the ball to right field n making a living off getting bloopers, dying quails, duck farts, texas leaguers, punch n judy, broken bat singles to right. he was a stiff then n is undoubtedly the most overrated pro baseball player of all time

[rockstarzep]

@Taxi502 Jeter is a solid Hall of Fame canditate: 3,000 plus hits, .300 plus average, solid to excellent defense, clutch performer, leader who leads by example, plenty of stolen bases w/ decent percentage of stolen base attempts, great instincts. He is way up there, even compared to the typical (or average) Hall of Famer. Take a good look at his statistics sometime AND realize that there is more to him than stats, too.

[cubbie2512]

anyone think its ironic how he was number 13 and 3rd base

[DualxWieldxMedia]

@cubbie2512 Coincidence not irony.

[Taxi502]

@DualxWieldxMedia i love ur comment. for some reason im the same way. i dont know why but i have this unfounded hatred for when people use the word irony incorrectly when the word coincidence is proper

[Taxi502]

@DualxWieldxMedia irony would be that he is playing for the other team in this vid. the team not wearing the pinstripes haha

[Taxi502]

@DualxWieldxMedia my hatred made me comment too quickly perhaps. an arguement could be made for using the word irony here for jeter playing 3rd base and wearing the #13. it is after all quite the opposite of what is expected. instead of him playing short n wearing #2, he is playing 3rd n wearing (rodriguez's) #13

[LEGOBOY8650]

@cubbie2512 A ROD

[cheesynounou]

@cubbie2512 no

[BU12TON]

@cubbie2512 when Jeter was in high school he mainly played 3rd he only played Short Stop a few times and he diden't become number 2 until he started with the Yankees

[soxslugger24]

what is the asong to this video called?

[getlostferak]

WTF?! 421 in center?

[Cnice76]

@getlostferak that is shallow compared to CitiField :)

[mrlovetoride]

@getlostferak fricken deep

[yiprye]

@getlostferak thanks for noticing that

[N1ghtHawk2202]

does any1 find it ironic that he was #13 and played 3rd base? who do i kno that is #13 and plays thrid base???

[ajcool47]

lol he was 13 and played third wat happened to numba 2 and at short?

[mattagreen1234]

anyone notice the 421 center field!?

[fannon00]

ive played at the field at 30 sec.

[PartyBusGaming]

Kalamazoo Central High!

[haa143]

doesn't it seem kinda weird that jetter has A rods number?

[supervols11]

that fence said 421 and he hit a homerun on his second at bat

[redSHIFT69]

@supervols11 yeah because reading 421 on some ghetto ass field is legit.

[elFlakation]

@supervols11 It wasn't a HR because the inning's over..it was fly-out

[gaarafan5555]

So, this was taped in the 1980s? It looks like the 1990s. Im guessing the is not Jeter.

[Bloodshot043]

he looks black

[jsieben25]

@Bloodshot043 he is

[Bloodshot043]

@jsieben25 dude how the fuck is this derek jeter

[swingdocta]

The shortstop will often have the stronger arm than the third baseman, even tho the thirdbaseman will make a lot of longer throws. The shortstop needs the stronger arm because he will be ranging to his right and need to make throws from the hole which require much more arm strength than throws from the corner.

[Octoberheart7]

My dog's name is Jeter :P

[mxpassion17]

His motion from third looks like hes pitching...i read he sucked at the minor league level first year but look what hard work and determination get you. Hes a great player today.

[thebandittransam]

You guys are arguing the wrong point. Kids who have great lateral movement often play 3rd base! If he has a good arm that is a plus. Shortstops usually are agile and with medium arms but can often play 3rd.

[quez76]

who gives a flying fuck about derek jeter! complaining of a 3 year 45 million dollar contract after he just made close to 200 million.

[superthunderpikachu]

@quez76 I DO YOU BASTARD!

[quez76]

@superthunderpikachu than go suck his dick

[superthunderpikachu]

@quez76 Wtf

[quez76]

@superthunderpikachu lol

[superthunderpikachu]

@quez76 Sorry for overeacting. I've been a fan of Jeter ever since I was 3 years old.

[navyk77]

@superthunderpikachu 3 years old? Really? Exaggerate much? lol 

[JustinXTimberlake]

he is wearing a-rod's number and playing third base, lmao

[swingdocta]

lol haters. his throws from short to first were clocked at 95 mph in high school, he could always fuckin play

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

i would love for 13 year old me to pitch against 13 year old derek jeter.

[paynefitness]

[CardsFan4life100]

@payn

[chicksdigmizunos98]

is their coach smoking pot???? what the hell is he doing at 3rd

[CardsFan4life100]

@chicksdigmizunos98 Generally you put the kid with the strongest arm at 3rd dumbass..

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@CardsFan4life100 no have you noticed in the mlb the infielders with the best arms are at short,

[CardsFan4life100]

@chicksdigmizunos98 Hmm, let me think A-rod has a better arm than Jeter and he plays 3rd...And more often than not you would put the person with the best arm at 3rd..If the coach decides to put the best arm in the infield at SS that is just his personal preference. 

[chicksdigmizunos98]

@CardsFan4life100 do u remember that arod was a shortstop when he came to the mlb, if he didnt get traded to the yankees he'd still be at short right now

[NGFYGaming]

@chicksdigmizunos98 actually no. look at the phillies. 3rd basemen has best arm

[chavo2k7]

@CardsFan4life100 um... nope strongest arm is always at short cause its a longer throw since theyre backed up on the grass

[CardsFan4life100]

@chavo2k7 Wow haha, yeah this was a conversation my little brother started..lol He's played baseball for 2 years and thinks he knows alot..Sorry about that.. But really the strongest arm, in the infield, doesn't always go to short or to 3rd..Its all the preference of the coach..To play short you must be very agile and it just so happens that alot of people that are agile enough to play short have good arms.

[chavo2k7]

@CardsFan4life100 haha yea my little bros the same but your right it all comes down to the coaches preferance

[navyk77]

@chavo2k7 Actually it goes OF, PI, 3B, CA, SS on average

[goYankees19]

when was this filmed, 1989? 1990?  thereabouts?

[situationcritical22]

you can see the bad defense already

[PhilsFutureNumber33]

I betya that he was a money loving ass hole back then too

[KonvoyChief]

Stalker?
