The first episode focused on Jeter’s “upbringing as a biracial kid in the Midwest and his journey to the major leagues” and showcased never-before-seen footage of Jeter getting drafted by the Yankees, per ESPN.

“We set out on a journey to discover the man behind the iconic Yankees number 2 jersey,” said Wilkins. “The series gives insight into a Hall of Fame baseball career, but more importantly, we reveal a person who sits at multiple intersections of American culture. The Captain is a story about race, media, celebrity culture, and the insatiable drive to be the best version of yourself.”

Episode seven of The Captain will air at 10 p.m. ET. See the full schedule here.

The Captain is executive produced by Lee, Tollin, Mandalay Sports Media, Excel Media, and Connor Schell, in association with the Players’ Tribune and Major League Baseball.
