In the ninth book in the New York Times bestselling middle grade
series inspired by the life of iconic New York Yankee Derek Jeter,
Derek must learn how to be a team player from the dugout and the
importance of taking care of his body. Seventh grade is off to a
rocky start for Derek Jeter. But he's soon distracted by all that's
going on in his own life...which includes basketball and baseball
team responsibilities. He's talked about it with his parents, and
he's certain he can play both sports while also doing well in
school. Quickly, though, the two sports begin to take their toll,
and Derek finds himself on the bench with an injury. How can Derek
show his commitment to his teammates, his coaches, and the sports
he loves when he can't actively participate? Inspired by Derek
Jeter's childhood, Switch-Hitter is the ninth book in Jeter
Publishing's New York Times bestselling middle grade baseball
series that focuses on key life lessons from Derek Jeter's Turn 2
Foundation.
Jalen DeLuca applies his baseball genius to his own playing in the
follow-up to Tim Green and Derek Jeter's New York Times bestselling
novel Baseball Genius. Jalen DeLuca loves baseball. But he's more
than just a fan and a talented player; Jalen is a baseball genius.
He can analyze and predict almost exactly what a pitcher is going
to do with his next pitch. His unique ability helped him save the
career of the Yankees's star baseman, James "JY" Yager, by
signaling the pitches from the stands. Now turning his focus to his
own baseball career, Jalen has to put his genius into action in new
and untested ways. But without the stats and information he has on
the pro players, analyzing the pitchers seems impossible. And even
if he knows what the pitch will be, actually hitting it takes more
than intuition. As if the pressure of the team and drama with his
friends weren't enough, one major event changes everything--Jalen's
mom comes back into his life. Can Jalen work through it all to hit
a grand slam and make his baseball dreams a reality?

Jalen DeLuca and his hero New York Yankee James "JY" Yager must team up to prove themselves in this sequel to Tim Green and Derek Jeter's New York Times bestselling novel, Baseball Genius.
Jalen DeLuca loves baseball. He's playing for his summer travel team and trying to win a regular spot in the rotation. But Jalen's got more than talent on the field. He's a baseball genius who can analyze and predict almost exactly what any pitcher is going to do with his next pitch. He can't quite explain how he knows, he just does. His unique ability helped him save the career of New York Yankee star baseman James "JY" Yager, and now Jalen figures he'll be almost part of the team. Or will he?
After a power struggle with the Yankees GM and a failed negotiation with Cat, JY strikes out on his own to show he can still hit in the majors without Jalen's help. Disappointed, but focused on his own baseball career, Jalen tries to carve out his own spot with the Rockton Rockets.
When things go wrong for both of them, JY works out a deal with Cat, bringing the pair together again. With JY's help, Jalen and Daniel are able to join a travel team from a nearby rival town who will face off against the Rockets in the championship game of an elite tournament in Boston. With the pressure mounting for JY to perform at the Green Monster and Jalen intent on paying back his former team, they'll have to pull off the ultimate double play if they're both going to succeed.
Inspired by Derek Jeter's own life, Fair Ball is the fourth middle grade novel in the New York Times bestselling Jeter Publishing Program and focuses on the theme "the world isn't always fair."
Life isn't always fair. You can't control that, but you can control how you think and act when things don't go your way. You have to hang in there and keep after it, not get down and give up.
Derek has a lot to look forward to. School is almost out, his baseball team is competing in the Westwood Little League Playoffs, and then he'll head to his grandparents' house for the summer. Sure, there are finals to study for first, but Derek doesn't mind. Maybe this year he'll get better grades than Gary. But when his best friend Dave starts to act strangely, ignoring Derek and canceling their plans, his summer isn't looking quite so fun. What's going on? Doesn't he want to be Derek's friend anymore?
Derek is so distracted by his problems with Dave that he makes a mistake in the outfield during a key play--and his team loses the game. It's so unfair! With the championship at stake and finals looming, Derek needs to stay focused or risk everything.
