Ace (baseball)
text:
In baseball, an ace is a starting pitcher considered the best pitcher on a team's starting rotation. Barring injury or exceptional circumstances, a team's ace typically starts on Opening Day. In addition, aces are usually preferred to start crucial playoff games, sometimes on three days' rest. The term may be a derivation of the nickname of Asa Brainard, a 19th-century star pitcher, who was sometimes referred to as "Ace". In the early days of baseball, the term ace was used to refer to a run. Mo
