Strike Zone

In the seventh book in the New York Times bestselling middle grade series inspired by the life of iconic New York Yankee Derek Jeter, young Derek and his friends learn the true meaning of teamwork when they have to embrace the unexpected on their baseball team.

At the first practice of the season, Derek takes note of who is on the team. They have some good players, for sure--but also some weaker ones. There's still one kid missing, and Derek hopes it's a really good ballplayer to round out the roster. But when the kid arrives, everyone is shocked: she's a girl! Can Derek's team come together to have a winning season?

Inspired by Derek Jeter's childhood, this is the seventh 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.
