While situational batting statistics can be used to gleam important data on whether a hitter can perform when the pressure is on, on base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS are much better indicators of a hitter's productivity and importance to the team. The number one job of a hitter is to get on base and thus prevent an out from being made. Although Jeter looks to be having a bit of an off year by his standards, his career OBP is .386, his career slugging percentage is .459 and his career OPS is .845 which are quite solid numbers.
