I have designated ACE to be like number 1, but removed it from team specific criteria.
30 number 1s or Aces
30 number 2s
30 number 3s
30 number 4s
30 number 5s
the rest
I do use ELITE to describe dominating pitchers the way some would like to use the term ACE.
Elite pitchers are usually aces, but aces may or may not be elite.
Any grouping of athletes with a label like ace will be subject to dispute and varying opinion, but at least we can agree with what we're talking about.
The best pitcher on a bad staff used to be called a STOPPER because the team hoped he could stop extended losing streaks. I would put Harrell in this category at this time.
