Star pitcher (3)

I believe the answer is:

ace

'star pitcher' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ace that I've seen before include "Hole in one; very good" , "Top card or champion" , "reason for point of no return" , "One or 11 in cards" , "Person who excels, a top card" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, The Washington Post, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
