Derek's coaches, from when he was very young, to his Yankees coaches, they have all said that he was an extraordinary player. I assume, that he played up when he was a kid, so he could play against better competition, and get better. But, his highschool JV coach, when he was a freshman, said that he new Derek wouldn't be on JV for long, just because of how good he was. The Yankees summer leauge coaches said, that with work in different areas of his game, he could potentially be a very good baseball player long-term. I think they were right.
Derek's Stats, from when he was in the minors to the majors
People probobly had very high expectations for Derek, but he did a very good job in focusing on his goals, and what he needed to do; instead of trying to please everyone else's goals for him. He stresses that you need to set your goals high so that they are a challenge, but not to high so that there impossible.
