He is regarded as a consummate professional by teammates and opponents alike, and has a reputation as a reliable contributor in the postseason.

In addition, Jeter's achievements include four Silver Slugger Awards, five Gold Glove awards, All-Star Game MVP Award, World Series MVP Award, and membership in the 3,000 hit club.

Many players and coaches consider Jeter to be one of the best players of his generation. He is the all-time hits leader among shortstops, and his .317 career batting average through the 2009 season ranks as the fifth-highest among active players. He has been among the American League (AL) leaders in hits and runs scored for the past ten years. He is the all-time Yankees hit leader, having passed Hall of Fame member Lou Gehrig in 2009. Sportswriters anticipate that Jeter will be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame following his playing career.

Jeter was the starting shortstop for Team USA in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. He hit .450 (9-for-20) and scored five runs in six games. Only Ken Griffey, Jr. (.524) and Yoandy Garlobo (.480) had a higher batting average with a minimum of 20 at bats. Jeter's play earned him recognition as the shortstop selection on the All-Tournament Team.

Jeter started at shortstop for Team USA in the 2009 World Baseball Classic as well. At the start of the tournament, he was named captain of Team USA by manager Davey Johnson.[58] With Team USA, Jeter faced the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field in an exhibition game, the first time he played against the Yankees.
