It’s nothing new for someone to idolize the New York Yankees former shortstop Derek Jeter. However, Jorge Mateo can actually make that happen in years to come. Mateo recently spoke on how he has always idolized Jeter and his ethics on and off the field. Here’s why he is in the best position to become the closest thing to “the next Jeter”.
“I always admired him. The way he played, the way he carried himself, how he was special”. While being a shortstop himself, Mateo would always have the number two on his back, just as others have the number 23.
