The boricua Carlos Correa he said a few months ago that Derek Jeter he didn’t deserve any of the golden gloves he won in the MLB. Is right?
Derek Jeter responded to those comments stating that he did not know why his name had come to that conversation and that his Spanish is not very good, and that also, that did not deserve a response from him. Jeter won 5 gold gloves in the majors.
However, the Baseball Inquirery Sabermetrics, Domingo Tavarez, brings a thread breaking myths and explaining how good or bad Derek Jeter was defensively in the majors, without detracting from them. It should be noted that making many spectacular plays does not guarantee the golden glove to a player, if so, then Javier Baez had a 5-6 at home and Carlos Gómez would have retired with more than 4.

Many point out that Jeter got so many golden gloves because he played in the best franchise at that time and the most popular in the MLB today, the trade was more important than the truth for those times.
