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.

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.*

It's chipper, but it's not that Jeter isn't elite himself, 66th in career bWAR, Chipper is 33rd*
