Inside UNC’s Pitching Lab with Bryant Gaines and the Staff Behind the ACC’s Best ERA

Posted May 30, 2025
UNC didn’t just lead the ACC in ERA this season, they did it by nearly a run and a half. Right-hander Jake Knapp set the tone, becoming the first Tar Heel since J.B. Bukauskas in 2017 to be named ACC Pitcher of the Year. But it wasn’t just Knapp. At the center of it all is Bryant Gaines, now in his fifth year as assistant head coach and sixth as pitching coach.
