Just three starts into the season and Lance Lynn has removed all doubt on who is the ace of the talented Texas Rangers starting rotation.
Entering the 2020 season the Texas Rangers rotation looked like one built on having multiple good starting pitchers in lieu of the traditional “ace, two, three, etc.” concept. At least, to those outside the Rangers’ circle of media and fans that’s how it was portrayed. However, to those followed the club closely in 2019, there was a strong belief that this was a team with an elite frontline starter that could match up against almost any top arm in the league.
