Brian Van Belle has thrown 4,163 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Fall/Winter Ball. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Change (84mph) and Sinker (90mph), also mixing in a Curve (81mph), Slider (86mph) and Fourseam Fastball (91mph). He also rarely throws a Cutter (87mph).


In 2025, compared to other RHP:
Their change dives down out of the zone and generates more whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' changeups. Their sinker has heavy sinking action and has slightly below average velo. Their curve has little depth, is slightly harder than usual and has slight glove-side movement. Their slider generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' sliders, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders and has primarily 12-6 movement. Their fourseam fastball has some natural sinking action, results in somewhat more flyballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slightly below average velo. Their cutter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' cutters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' cutters, has little cutting action, has slightly below average velo and has some natural sink.
