TAMPA — Derek Jeter had very little to say about Orioles manager Buck Showalter’s claim that Jeter steals strikes by jumping away from inside pitches.

“Right now we are working on stride length,’’ the Yankees captain said when asked if he had a comment about Showalter’s words. “Next, it will be reacting to inside pitches.’’

Then Jeter said, “Comment, come on man.’’

Showalter, the former Yankees manager who took over the Orioles last season, told Men’s Health magazine he “screamed” at Jeter last season at Yankee Stadium.

“Our guys are thinking, ‘Wow, he’s screaming at Derek Jeter.’ Well, he’s always jumping back from balls just off the plate. I know how many calls that team gets — and yes, he [ticks] me off,” Showalter said.
