Overall, while Derek Jeter was not a power hitter in the traditional sense, he was still able to hit for both average and power throughout his career. His home run total is just one aspect of his impressive career as a player, and it's his all-around abilities that made him one of the greatest shortstops in baseball history.

Home runs (HR) are hits where the player hits the ball and reaches home in a single play without the benefit of an error or fielders choice. Commonly this is done by the player hitting the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory but it can also occur with a well placed hit that stays inside the park. Generally, for Home Runs, higher is better. (Source)
