Jason Varitek has more brains than brawn. His statistics as a batter are good but not great. As of the end of the 2008 season, his career batting average was .263. He has hit 161 home runs and has driven in 654 runs. Nice, but not awe-inspiring.
The most impressive statistics in Varitek’s career as the Boston Red Sox catcher are in numbers of games, not numbers of hits. By the end of the 2008 season, he had played in more than 1,270 games, shattering the previous record for most games played by a catcher in a Boston Red Sox jersey. The previous record, held by Carlton Fisk, was 990. And of the many, many games that he has caught, four of them were no-hitters. That’s not merely a team record. That’s a Major League record.
Jason Varitek’s most outstanding contribution to the Red Sox has not been in hammering homers, but in pitcher preparation and team leadership. He studies videotapes and scouting reports of opposing teams and learns from them. Then he takes that knowledge and works with his pitchers to prepare them for games. Tek has superior skill calling a game. These skills have earned him a reputation as a catcher that pitchers, coaches and managers trust, depend on and enjoy working with.
Because of this reputation, Red Sox management has named him the team captain. He is only the third team captain since 1923, succeeding Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice in the role. And he is one of only three team captains in the Major Leagues, joining Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko and New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter in holding that honor. The letter “C” on the left side of the chest of his jersey represents his role as captain.
Tek was signed by the Seattle Mariners in the first round of the amateur draft in 1994. He started in the Mariners minor league system, but was traded to the Red Sox in 1997. He has played in a Red Sox jersey ever since, his entire Major League career. After breaking in, he grabbed the full-time starting catcher spot in 1999.
Jason Varitek’s best offensive season was 2004, the first year that he led the Red Sox to victory in the World Series. He caught his 1,000th game in 2006 and got his 1000th run the following year, in 2007. He returned with the Sox to the World Series that year, winning the championship for the second time in four years.
Varitek won the Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger Awards in 2005. He was selected for the All-Star Team three times, in 2003, 2005 and 2008.
Once his contract had expired at the end of the 2008 season, he declined the Red Sox offer of salary arbitration. The strategy that he and his agent seemed to have adopted was to seek a multi-year, high paying contract with another team. No offer was forthcoming, however, and Tek and the Sox came to terms. So Jason Varitek will be playing in a Red Sox jersey again for the 2009 season, with team and player options for 2010.
At 36, and after 12 years in the Major Leagues, Jason Varitek seems to be nearing the end of his career. It’s a career that stretches back to his youth. Before Tek even donned his first Boston Red Sox jersey, he was a veteran of two World Series – the Little League World Series and the College World Series. But his skills and habits at studying opposing teams and preparing his pitchers become even more valuable now.
