Derek Jeter, nicknamed the Captain, is an American former shortstop who spent his entire 20-year Major League Baseball career with the New York Yankees, debuting in 1995. A five-time World Series champion, he is regarded as a central figure of the club's late 1990s and early 2000s dynasty, and he won both the All-Star Game MVP and World Series MVP Awards in 2000. He is the Yankees' all-time leader in hits with 3,465, was a 14-time All-Star, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020 in his first year of eligibility. The Yankees retired his number 2, and he later served as chief executive officer of the Miami Marlins.
