The Best Hitters In MLB History
25. Derek Jeter (1994-2014)
Perhaps Jeter’s career stats are not as strong as others you’ll see on this list, but Jeter is a legend of his own making for incredible consistency. Jeter is one of the playoff kings, holding the record for total hits in playoff games, most singles, most doubles and most triples! He also ranks third in postseason home runs! His career will be most well-remembered for his role in the late 90’s with the Yankees, where they achieved much success. Jeter is the sixth best hitter of all time in terms of total hits and was the quickest player to reach 3400 hits.
