Belcher has spent the past eight years as a special assistant to baseball operations in the Indians organization. He was responsible for evaluating players in Cleveland's system and scouted other teams.

The 48-year-old went 146-140 with a 4.16 ERA in a 14-year career. Belcher pitched for seven major league teams.

Acta is expected to fill out the remainder of coaching staff over the next few days. He was hired as Cleveland's manager on Oct. 25. Former pitching coach Carl Willis was fired along with manager Eric Wedge. Willis spent seven seasons with the Indians.
