From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In baseball, a team's ace is the best starting pitcher in the team and nearly always the first pitcher in the starting rotation. Barring injury or exceptional circumstances, the ace is usually the pitcher that starts on Opening Day. In addition, aces are usually preferred to start crucial playoff games, sometimes on three days' rest.
