Baseball experts agreed Sunday that Derek Jeter, who fielded a routine ground ball during a regular-season game in which the Yankees were leading by five runs and then threw it to first base using one of his signature leaps, did not have to do that to record the out. 'If it had been a hard-hit grounder in the hole or even a slow dribbler he had to charge, that would've been one thing,' analyst John Kruk said during a broadcast of Baseball Tonight. 'But when it's hit right to him by [Devil Rays first-baseman] Greg Norton, a guy who has no stolen bases and is still suffering the effects of a hamstring injury sustained earlier this year Well, that's a different story.' Jeter threw out Norton by 15 feet and pumped his fist in celebration at the end of the play.
