Did Highlands pitch their ace?

From PBR Kentucky:

 

Cincinnati Elder 5, #2 Highlands 2

After a rocky first inning, Hunter Dreves settled in to record 6 strikeouts over 3 innings of work in Highlands’ opening game of the season.

Did Highlands pitch their ace?

 

Dreves is their #2 (UT commit). Rom (Michigan commit) is their #1. Both are very good.

And why didn't their ace start??

No clue, but I think Jeremy has done ok with is decision making the past several years. Don't you??? :lol:

Sure but still has to be a reason? Injury? Trouble?

I wouldn’t read all that much into a game this early. 1st game of a long season for a team that’s loaded with pitching. It’s not going to matter who they start most games.

Coming up This Weekend 5 games in 3 days in Myrtle Beach... Save your Pitching?

Yes while everyone else is sitting.....Highlands is playing.......

Oh My, do the bird fans get antsy when someone throws question into their lineup. Not everyone is so willing to hand them the trophy, regardless of their admittedly strong rotation. Why would one assume that HHS is the only team playing through their Spring Break? Aren't most teams?

...and, it looks like they'll take seven days off after that trip to the coast. I'd bet other teams might be playing during that little coffee break.

Early in the year and bad weather. Sometimes you have to throw a bullpen or you might not throw for a week. With the game being very questionable to be played, he might have thrown on the side a day or two before and therefore would not be available. Nothing to read into it.

Everyone will get their 30-36 games in. Not a big deal. Besides, their coming off playing 5 games in 3 days. That's a full week worth of games.

Birds are scheduled to play Saturday 4/7 vs Sycamore, Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th, and Thursday 12th.

I heard the scouts requested to see him pitch on Wednesday 3/28 at Boone County.
