Hit & Miss - Derek Jeter Paperback Book

Hit & Miss - Derek Jeter Paperback Book. The second middle grade book in the New York Times bestselling Jeter Publishing imprint, Hit & Miss is a baseball novel inspired by the youth of legendary sports icon and role model Derek Jeter. Like his first foray into middle grade sports fiction, "The Contract "(S. & S., 2014), Jeter presents a fictionalized story based on his own childhood. Each title in the series is based on the principles of Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation. "Hit & Miss" revolves around the maxim "Think Before You Act." Derek Jeter is a fourteen-time All-Star and five-time World Series winner who has played for one team—the storied New York Yankees—for all twenty seasons of his major league career. His grace and class on and off the field have made him an icon and role model far beyond the world of baseball.
