Hall of Fame
Brookshire ranks among the most decorated and dependable pitchers in Belmont history. After being named to the Atlantic Sun Conference AllFreshman team in 2010, the left-hander earned all-conference honors three consecutive seasons – twice more in the ASUN and in Belmont’s inaugural season in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Chattanooga, Tennessee native ranks first all-time in Belmont history in starts (55) and innings pitched (367.0), and boasts two of the top three single-season earned run averages for a starting pitcher in the Bruins’ NCAA Division I era (2.28, 2013; 2.45, 2012). Brookshire was best known for delivering in the biggest moments, most notably his eight-inning performance in the 2011 NCAA Tournament as Belmont defeated Oklahoma State. In fact, when coupled with his equallyimpressive start vs. Oregon State in 2012 NCAA Tournament and his scheduled starts in the 2011 and 2012 Atlantic Sun Tournament, Brookshire posted a remarkable 1.76 ERA over nearly 31 innings of work. Chase helped lead the Bruins to consecutive conference championships and NCAA Tournaments, and in 2013 he was named the Belmont Presidential Scholar-Athlete of the Year. After graduating he was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2013, and later spent a few years minor league baseball. Once settled back in Nashville Chase began working for Provisions Group, an IT Consulting & Staffing firm in Franklin, TN. He is currently a Client Development Director focused on the growth of our Salesforce Consulting practice. Chase met his wife Lauren, at Fellowship Bible Church and got married in April of 2019. In April of 2021 they had their first child, Emmaline. During his free time Chase enjoys playing golf.
