I think Martin like Posada was originally an infielder but his best chance to make the majors was to be a catcher because everybody wants a catcher with some pop but not a 2B with some pop and regular fielding. That's why the majors is full of bad catchers who can't field nor throw properly (Piazza was a prime example, Posada, Leyritz and Gary Sánchez too).
Not really, those two plays were not regular grounders and fielded them as if they were, the first one because Hardy was running and the SS had to speed up the throw (the grounder was slow and JJ had above avg speed though not the fastest one), notice how strong his throw was even after 17 seasons in the majors. Nowadays most shortstops can't get the throw to first with that smooth motion that loos almost effortless.
If you made it to the majors you are more than a player you are an athlete. Most guys in the majors played another position or even another sport. I had two friends go pro in the MLB, one was a QB in football with offers the other a state winning point guard in basketball. Simply great athletes.
Imagine Gary Sanchez at the Backstop then at 3rd and 1st base! Its the 1st time that a catcher had a pass ball, and error throw to 3rd and 3rd baseman error throw to 1st and 1st throw to catcher an error! Comedy of error Gary Sanchez!
@@justinyo1796 DRS is literally defensive runs saved. Its a calculation where 100 is the average and its a measure of how many runs a defender has saved. Using metrics like range, errors, difficulty, and a handful of other things. Jeter's DRS is -152 the worst by far of any major leaguer ever. Since you want to use errors which is the worst metric in all of baseball considering a human decides whether or not an error is an error, Ozzie Smiths Fielding percentage was a .978 while Jeters was .971 even though ozzie had 27 more errors than Jeter but both played the 19 seasons. Jeter is hands down the least consistent, worst defender at the shortstop position in MLB history, Ozzie is one of the best defensemen in the history of the MLB. Both of these statements are well know facts. Now stfu about errors especially since YOU cant explain DRS.
@@mickeylynch8982 Derek jeter has a reputation as a clean cut no funny business guy, i dont imagine that was the case, especially because that was a common sight for Jeter: he sucked at fielding

Not every SS can pick up that ball with that ease, watch MLB for a while and you will notice how somebody after 16 years in the majors could make that play and have such a strong throw to first base that even on the fly the ball got there very quick and without a bounce.
I love how someone can be as terrible a fielder and thrower as Jeter and yet still be “the best defensive shortstop in history” c’mon people the stats don’t lie he was just a good hitter, and he hit for contact in a homerun dominated era Edit: I’m no way does he deserve to be in the HOF guess now it’s more of the “Hall of Pretty Good” anyways
He also played all the positions near the end of his career. And had wanted to play short or second if he didn't become a catcher. Loved watching Martin play.
Look at the score wtf happened to the Yankees over the years I remember winning games by that much against bad teams was normal now we can't make the damn playoffs
Yankees up 10-0 in the 5th. I wonder if this was late in the season and they were trying out alternate positions for the post season. nope. Looked it up; it was May 19th 2011. Yankees beat the A's 22-9 in a august game that season
Catchers are still ball players. I'm sure at one time they all played all the positions in their lives..they make it sound like they have baseball handicaps. Lol.. what he fielded a ball and threw it to first and the guy caught it??!? No wayyy
As cool as this may sound, anybody with baseball knowledge knows how unimpressive this is. The fact they did this is likely due to depth chart injuries or pinch hitting and keeping a player in the game. It's not like catchers aren't good fielders, they're just not gold glovers in the infield. Practically any mlb player can field and the fact theyre a catcher means they are a specialist in one thing but not necessarily below at another thing

It would be amazing if on that last play the batter was also the catcher of opponent's side. THERE WOULD BE 4 CATCHERS ON FIELD, ON ONE PLAY
He was. Jake Fox
Fox came up. It's obvious another catcher would come to bat from the opposing team. 😂
Posada was really that dude! All time great Yankee!
When a catcher is a better infielder than the most famous infielder of all time
Jeter doesnt get enough credit for being terrible at defense

Real lesson here, there’s never enough catchers on your roster.
Russell Martin was Goated he played both 3 bag regularly and caught. He was one of my idols growing up because ironically I played both positions
Martin was a great catcher, team player and human being. Still a great human being.
This is like some shit that happens during fall semester in college ball. Miss my catcher buddies man
Greatest team Of All Time 🇺🇸
One of my new fav videos
Wow, look how hall of Fame Jeter looks. Only he can do it like that.
Grow up
Martin is a bad ass pitcher too!
Jeter with that classic gold glove defense
Willson contreras, miguel montero, and david ross have entered the chat
Taylor Ward: Such bitches
Why would they enter a chat?
How about Ross, Contreras, and Schwarber?
That was nearly a decade later
Wack. Hold this L
Classic Jeter

Can we atleast acknowledge that jeter was actually a considerably bad defensive shortstop for how the media portrays him
Ozzie Smith has more errors than Derek Jeter and you can't explain what DRS means or how's it defined so....
@@justinyo1796 you the man😉👉
@@justinyo1796 errors is a shit way to measure how good a defender is tho
We can, but 5 players in baseball have more hits than him in the history of the game, and I hate the F-ing Yankees.

Legendary 2 2 2 out
Now in 2023, the San Diego Padres will field a SS at EVERY infield position except pitcher. I kinda think that’s a better story 😂
Catchers are interesting creatures
Now that's awesome
Miss those teams.
Pft sounds like a squad i built in DD on mlb the show cuz all their bats were too good to rode the bench
This is pretty cool 👌
The toughest Yankee... Jorge posada...I don't need no stinking batting gloves...he told steinbrener ,I'll be your everyday catcher..
Ah yes the old 2-2 putout 😂
And that’s the reason why the Yankees are the best team in the history of MLB.
I think Martin was athletic enough to have made a decent 3B
He played a quite a bit of third with the Jays and Pirates I believe.
Martin was drafted by the Dodgers as a 3B
I remember this!! Then again I have the Yankees "NY" tat on my forearm!!
one thing this video taught me, the stats are right jeter was a horrible fielder
😭 elsewhere
Jeter=💍💍💍💍💍
Jeter wasn't messing with Posada by throwing him the low one in a 10-0 game??

The funny thing is that in every other domain of playing baseball other than the bigs you play every position
What a catching story.
Martin one of the best
Wait i didnt "catch" that last part......
thats actually crazy
The A’s played three catchers in their line up 2013. Norris - Jaso - Vogt.
That’s crazy
I caught what you did there!
catchers make for surprisingly great fielders.
Yes. Johnny Bench took an occasional turn at 3B, 1B, and the OF in his career with the Reds.
@@jamesanthony5681 big red machine is absolutely goated.
@@SIRtrizzytreyofcameltoe Yes. The starting 8 on the '75-'76 Reds are the greatest of all time.
Thank the gods Jeter had Tino for those golden years
Wow I don’t remember this crazy lol
The good old time
That would be crazy if the batter of the last play was a catcher too
At least they ain't the Padres with 6 shortstops on the field 😂

How they got 3 good catchers
Jeter looks more accurate throwing in this video than he normally does 😂
Creative
Ok but did the opposing catcher hit that grounder to Martin?
It was Jake Fox, who played a plurality of his games in left field.
BUT THAT DAY, HE WAS PLAYING CATCHER!!!
What about in 2011 when the Yankees had 3 catchers on the field AT THE SAME TIME in a game versus Baltimore? Kind of a quirky moment.
Were you able to catch all that in the video?
Russel Martin who ended his career as a pitcher. 😂
He also played all the positions near the end of his career. And had wanted to play short or second if he didn't become a catcher. Loved watching Martin play.
Woopdie dooo
Those are the best throws of Jeters career
Was giradi trying to get fired? Imainge if posada and martin got hurt...
Posada "picked" low throw from Jeter? What were you watching?
And then Posada pulled a Bugs Bunny by pitching the ball, running to home plate and caught his own pitch for a strike!
Look at the score wtf happened to the Yankees over the years I remember winning games by that much against bad teams was normal now we can't make the damn playoffs
Since then how many WS do the Yankees have? With the amount they spend on payroll they should have appeared in at least a couple right?
But then did a catcher catch the ball that the catcher threw?
just a reminder that jeter is statistically one of if not the worst shortstop EVER 🤣
Only way this could’ve gotten better was if the pitcher was a catcher and the catcher was at bat
Russell Martin had a cannon
Posada was originally a 2nd baseman when signed to the minors.
i checked on Baseball ref. He entered or logged in one single inning at 2b in 2011, too.
Derek jeter moment
jorge's final season
2+5+3=1 if you know you know
Are you scoring at home? 🤔
Catcher is 2 third is 5 first is 3 = 1 out
@@trooper9645 I know that.
2 of those catchers became Buccos
Wonder if Berra Blanchard and Howard played in the same game
Jeter, the only Yankee us lifelong Sox fans ever respected Jeter great player great team player.
The yankees have two catchers on the field basically every day now
And Their Manager At That Time Was Joe Girardi, A Former Catcher.
The Catcherverse
Idk. If your standing at 3rd in a regular season game you are now the third baseman
Yankees up 10-0 in the 5th. I wonder if this was late in the season and they were trying out alternate positions for the post season. nope. Looked it up; it was May 19th 2011.
Yankees beat the A's 22-9 in a august game that season
So you know that the batter who hit that ground ball was… the O’s catcher
catchers are full util players
Would be a lot funnier if they were all stacked up behind home plate
Wait… JETER playing shortstop like crap? No way. Dude is the worst defensive shortstop of all time.
Imagine a whole team of them literally it’s strike! Strike strike strike shrike…
my team had 4 1st basemen 1st 3rd catch short
They were at work that day
Was elston Howard never on the field at the same time as Johnny Blanchard and yogi Berra?
Yanks played like this all the time in late 50 s and early 60 s.. No big deal
Berra, Howard, and Blanchard
No it was a catcher who hit to a 3b who threw to a 1b

It would have been better if a catcher called a pitch that a catcher pitched then a catcher hit then a catcher fielded and threw to a catcher
I was at that game. Not a good day for the O's.
Yanks just got obliterated 14-1 by the O's. lol
Marlins did it two
Martin play 3 bag a bunch in TO
A pitch called by a catcher is caught by a catcher in third and thrown to a catcher in first... So, an unassisted 5-3 out.
Would have been perfect if a catcher was pitching
I love Jeter I think hes great but he left much to be desired defensively.
Was the Oriole's catcher up to bat?

It was in fact Jake Fox, the Orioles catcher
