There's a beauty in what Jason Vargas does on the days the Kansas City Royals pitcher is at his best.
You have to see it to fully appreciate it. You have to change the way you watch pitching, because Vargas isn't a "watch the pitch and then check the radar gun" kind of guy. In this era of ultra-high velocity, he's motoring along in the slow lane and still finding a way to win the race.
He's not throwing 100 mph or even 90 mph, but his 2.39 ERA ranks seventh among all full-time major league starters.
