As well as being a RH batter Jeter has less of a dkscrepancy between his career Batting Average (BA) and Secondary Average (SecA): Player BA SecA Jeter .317 .289 Gwynn .338 .265 Ichiro .333 .223 Carew .328 .248 Keeler .341 .192 Jeter is too much of a "slugger" to belong to this group.

Here’s a thought. As well as being a RH batter Jeter has less of a dkscrepancy between his career Batting Average (BA) and Secondary Average (SecA):

Player BA SecA

Jeter .317 .289
Gwynn .338 .265
Ichiro .333 .223
Carew .328 .248
Keeler .341 .192

Jeter is too much of a “slugger” to belong to this group.

He does it, no? Maybe it’s a bias against right-handed batters or something? -------- Good question. I guess I never thought about it that way but you're right.
