Posado ain’t to shabby. A lot of these plays at home are a credit to his play as well

Andy Pettitte is one of the elite pitchers of his era, and should be in the Hall of Fame. When evaluating pitchers’ performance, using superficial metrics like ERA, like the HOF voters, you need to acknowledge that these metrics aggregate the performance of not only the pitcher, but the catcher, their defense, the opposing hitter, their manager (the situation and pitch count) as well as the run environment. They continuously fail to do that last part, and this is why Andy is not in the Hall. So let’s consider these factors. Catcher framing and blocking - Pettitte’s catchers were some of the worst. Pettitte suffered through one of the worst defensive catchers of that era-Jorge Posada-for much of his career. His pitch framing and pitch blocking was so bad, it really needs no further justification to anyone with any knowledge of the data. That potentially credits Pettitte 10-15 runs allowed in any given season Posada was his primary catcher-as much as 0.5 a run of ERA. That’s potentially the difference between 0 and multiple 3 Cy Young Awards, by itself. The steroid era-Pettitte’s career spanned much of this era, and some of his best seasons came when the average runs per game, per team, was almost a full run more than it is today. For instance, in 2000, he had a 4.35 ERA, one of the worst marks of his career, but still 11% better than the league average. Pettitte’s ERA+ was 11-77% better league average 13 times, and 30% or more 6 times. Attrition is another factor. The more you pitch, the worse the results-the more times through the order you persist, the more runs you give up. But given that there are a finite number of roster spots, durability in itself is valuable. Sure, you may not be as dominant in the seventh inning of your start than your first, but if you’re still better than Ramiro Mendoza, or you can save Mariano from pitching back-to-back games, and still get a win, that adds value via opportunity cost. When accounting for postseason innings-important given the Yankees dominance during Pettitte’s career-Pettitte averaged 200 innings a season, for his 18 season career. He holds the record for postseason innings pitched. His Yankees teams were steroid-era teams, built for hitting and not defense. He had below-average fielders at shortstop, second base, centerfield and right field, as well as his catcher. Lastly, Pettitte would have been even better, independent of his defense and run environments, had his coaches directed him to pitch optimally. One of his best pitches, his 4-seam fastball, was misused. Consistently, he was encouraged to pitch “down”, and try to pitch middle-in to right-handed hitters to “jam” them-especially with his cutter. He was instructed to “pitch to contact.” This is counter-productive, in actuality, you’re making it drastically easier for opposing hitters to pull and drive some of your best pitches. Later in this career, this becomes obvious, and his strikeouts spiked despite a decline in velocity-he started elevating his 4-seamer against both righties and lefties, and the flat approach angle and placement cut them down. Pettitte was elite despite everything working against him. He should be a HOF. One of the most dominant teams in history, leaned on him (demonstrable by his postseason innings).

Seen dandy Andy live 2 times. Once his rookie yr and once in 2008 at the old stadium against the reds and ken griffey jr.

Man Jeter made baseball exciting

ジーター、リベラ、バーニー、ポサダ、クレメンスの陰に隠れがちだけど、ペティットも90年代後半の黄金期を支えた一人だよな！

simply THE BEST of all time!

Best player of his generation. While others were doing steroids Jeter was just using skills.

I was in love with his slider, LEGEND 💪🏽💪🏽

1:18 one of the nastiest played I’ve ever seen

my favorite closer of all time. he was the best

He was so good this season, was an absolute no one who came out of nowhere to be a mvp candidate and lead the A’s to the playoffs. Phenomenal career

Kendrys

Man I miss these days

Wir waren damals (Ich bis heute) alle Jeter Fans. Ich habe meine erste Karte von ihm 2003 bekommen, bin auch 2003 zum Allstargame und Homerun derby nach Chicago geflogen, ich war damals 13 Jahre alt. Schade war gewesen, dass Jeter nicht da war😢 Ich habe in Deutschland für die Paderborn Untouchables gespielt und wir wurden 2 mal Deutscher Meister. Jeter seine Tricks im Spiel, die haben unser ganzes Spiel verändert. Derek... Du bist und bleibst für immer eine Legende... Wie war das nochmal? An Helden erinnert man sich immer, aber Legenden sterben nie ❤❤❤

@00:50 :0 I'm from Boston but like Ted Williams the NYY have 2 pick 1 seat in that area and make it the Dereck Jeter seat ?

Rest in peace

Mike Sweeney highlights?

Shane Victorino The Grand Slam

Right up there with Keith Foulke in 2004!!!

Can someone tell me what the name of the song is in the video please

This video made me happy. I loved that team

i missed half his saves at the end of the year...mostly because i turned the TV off and went to bed with a smile when i saw him come in as the closer....just that automatic

man the nostalgia. almost makes me tear up i swear

He was and always will be my MVP on and off the field. A true leader in all aspects of the word. Wore number 2 but has always been number 1 in my book.

Tuve la dicha d jugar con el y siempre le dije q podia ser un grandes ligas

Jeter was the man

700

We are so lucky to have seen a legend in the making

I came here to watch captain jeter.the all time hit leader of the New York Yankees.. there was cobb. There was rose..and there was Jeter.. and the hits just kept coming..
