Most of Derek’s new knowledge came at the plate where he learned techniques from other players, where he was schooled on the art of hitting to all fields. Different pitches in different locations required different swings and the quicker he reacts than the faster he would reach the major leagues with all-stars players. Although Derek Jeter took hitting instructions he was having problems because he would struggle .200 all summer long in his first season and he also let his hitting effect his fielding. (Swiryn) He booted 21 balls in 58 games at stops with the New York’s rookie level team in Tampa and even with the Greensboro Hornets. His minor league manager Gary Denbo assured him this was fundamental stuff and it was easy to fix through repetition.
Baseball has long been the pastime in American sports and the steroid use has caused an upset due to the tradition of the game (Carise). Players see using steroids as an artificial advantage compared to the earliest days of the sport (Carise). Players have made statements, such as “…in 2003, David “Boomer” Wells claimed that up to 40 percent of major leaguers use steroids” (Carise). In 2005, Jose Canseco who was a known steroid user for his entire career said, “…that up to 80 percent of major leaguers had taken steroids” (Carise). Testing in baseball did not begin until 2003 and steroids did not make Major League Baseball’s banned substance list until 1991 (Carise).
Rather, Sabermetric measures are usually phrased in terms of either runs or team wins. For example, a player might be described as being worth 54 runs more than a replacement player at the same position over the course of a full season, or VORP (value over replacement player). There have been many proponents of Sabermetrics that are directly involved in player development and recruitment in MLB (Major League Baseball). Recently one advocate of the system has come to prominence in part because of his humble success and partly because of the bestselling book “Moneyball” by Michael Lewis and the Oscar nominated
For example, an eighteen year old ruptured an elbow ligament while pitching for his high school baseball team, at the time he was playing for three different baseball teams in three different seasons. Playing a year round sport can also lead to kids to dropping the sport. All of these reasons lead to how intense youth sports have become. The rewards and exposure from success in youth sports have increased significantly. Most of this is because of the technology that youths and adults are exposed to including ESPN, YouTube, and an increase in television exposure for youth games.

The point of the sport is to hit the thrown ball with the bat as far as possible and run around four bases about 100 meters apart that form a diamond shape on the field. Then one must make it back to home base without been tagged by opposite team. The game is played in 9 innings which doesn’t have a time limit, but an inning ends when both teams have had 3 out. Each batter has three chances to hit the ball if the batter misses all three he is out of play until batting order comes back to him.
