ACE
the term "ace" was used for an elite pilot; the best of the squadron. The term is used in baseball as the best pitcher in the team's group of pitchers.
Ace means someone who excels at anything. It came from fighter aces who shot down at least five aircraft during either World War. The top pitcher in a baseball team is called an ace.

"Ace" is the social term for an asexual (as I am). Being the ace of spades may or may not mean anything other than a preference of suits in the cards. I have an "Ace of Spades" t shirt for representing my asexuality and it doesn't mean I'm superior to other aces, just a phrase

It's actually "Ace in the Hole", and it's a poker term, meaning that you have a winning card stashed. Having an ace in the hole means that you have some angle that gives you an advantage in a situation.
A lead off pitcher could also be called a 'starting pitcher'.If the starting pitcher is the best on the team they call him the ACE pitcher ...
