When Jon Niederer's scouting report exposed unheard details about Derek Jeter's fiery temperament

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter was a passionate player and an inspiration for many MLB fans. Jeter was known to be a private person but once his hidden temperament was revealed in Jon Niederer's insightful scouting report.

Exposing the unheard details about Jeter's fiery temperament, Niederer wrote:

“Got some hot dog in him, tendency to coast, be too cool."

"Athletic looking body, loose, rangy, slightly bow legged. Good hand speed at plate, good whip in bat 4.2 runner, agg. @ plate, good range at short, showed an ave. arm but feel there might be more there. Got some hot dog in him, tendency to coast, be too cool, susceptible to off-speed or CB's by getting out front, receives groundballs at times in too close to his body.

"A SS who can play there cause his hands & arm are OK, QK bat w/ some pop & has good speed & QK acceleration, real athlete that seasoning will only make better, all tools are there,"
