Which team did Derek Jeter get the most hits against in his career? Exploring the iconic Yankees' best matchup at the plate
New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter was a menace at the plate. He was a constant headache for opposing pitchers of nearly every team he faced over the course of his 20-year career in the Bronx.
Hits were not hard to come by for Jeter. He finished his career off with 3,456 hits. However, there is one team he terrorized more than any other club in the league: the Baltimore Orioles.
Jeter had a ton of success against the O's. He finished his career off with 353 hits against Baltimore pitchers, 10 more than he got against his rivals, the Boston Red Sox. Against Boston, Jeter got 343 hits, putting them in second place.
Baltimore sticks out given Jeter played them more than any other team in his career. He played 291 games against the O's, while he only played against the San Francisco Giants six times.
What teams escaped Yankees legend Derek Jeter's wrath?
There were a few teams that did not experience the dominance that Derek Jeter brought with him and the Yankees. As mentioned earlier, Jeter only played six games against the San Francisco Giants, getting six hits. The six hits are the lowest Jeter has gotten off a single team.
Another team Jeter did not face a lot during his career was the Colorado Rockies. He only played eight games against them, getting 14 hits.
One last team that Jeter did not have many hits against was the Chicago Cubs. While playing against them just nine times, he was able to muster 13 hits.
Some of these teams were a lot luckier than others. Jeter was one hard bat to put away throughout his impressive career with the Yanks. He will forever be remembered as one of the greatest ever to do it.
