Hurricanes redshirt junior pitcher Brian Van Belle is an unconventional arm in Miami’s rotation.
The Pembroke Pines, Florida native is not a natural flamethrower like his counterparts on the starting staff. Rather than lighting up the radar gun, Van Belle uses command and movement to get outs.
And just like his pitching style, Van Belle’s journey to the University of Miami was different from those of his teammates.
Van Belle attended Archbishop McCarthy High School, one of the many powerhouse baseball schools in South Florida. Yet, he had to work his way up to even play at the varsity level.
