I mean the jump throw is famously because his arm wasn't strong enough otherwise. I agree with the sentiment tho. Comparison is the thief of joy both elite players. Chipper could straight rake. Jeter was a rock for 15 year as a 4 war SS on champions

no slouch himself and was certainly a top 5 leader in the clubhouse of all time, whatever that is worth.

Poll: Better Player: Derek Jeter or Chipper Jones - By KeiTh September 2, 2026 at 09:50:00 PM

  - I don’t want to influence the vote. People can research if they want* - By KeiTh September 3, 2026 at 07:14:09 AM
- I have a soft spot for Chipper and those 90s Braves. Jeter was a baseball icon and damn good player. This is about old school vs sabermetrics. People think of Jeter as a great playmaking shortstop, but the advanced metrics show his limited range made him one of the worst shortstops of the era.* - By gbmcq September 2, 2026 at 10:11:09 PM
  - Well Chipper is also a MAGA piece of shit.* - By toffee September 2, 2026 at 10:43:05 PM

- It's chipper, but it's not that Jeter isn't elite himself, 66th in career bWAR, Chipper is 33rd* - By Daytripper September 2, 2026 at 09:57:07 PM
  - I always respected that Jeter was clean, not sure Chipper was.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 10:08:11 PM

    - Based on what exactly? Makes 0 sense to make that claim about chipper but not Jeter when neither have ever had any links whatsoever - By KeiTh September 2, 2026 at 10:37:43 PM
      - Jeter would have hit 30-35 bombs a year on the juice, minimum.* - By MasterBates September 2, 2026 at 10:45:14 PM
        
        By your standards chipper didn’t juice either - By KeiTh September 3, 2026 at 07:17:52 AM
    - yea agree, not sure about chipper* - By Daytripper September 2, 2026 at 10:14:32 PM
