Cincinnati Reds Spring Training Preview – Who will be the staff ace by the end of 2017?

In the starting rotation of the Cincinnati Reds Anthony DeSclafani is the ace. He was last year and he will be this year. He is the one starter who could throw a shutout any time he takes the ball.

Last year DeSclafani injured his oblique in spring last year and only made 20 starts last year in his second season with the Reds. He came over with catcher Chad Wallach in exchange for Mat Latos and isn’t looking back. He made all 31 of his starts his first year in the Reds’ rotation.

Last season DeSclafani set some important career records for himself.
