Matt Inouye is an assistant coach for the Chaminade University baseball team and will be working with the outfielders, base running and assisting with the catchers.

In the program's first year of resurrection, the Silverswords won 15 games with eight Pacific West Conference victories. Outfielder Ryan Ruch finished the 2024 season on the All-PacWest Second Team as well as earning conference Freshman of the Year honors after hitting .371. First baseman Casey Kuddell was also named all-conference, earning third team kudos. But perhaps even more impressively, 30 members of the team were named Academic All-PacWest.

Inouye was a four-year standout at outfield and catcher at the University of Hawai'i Manoa and was a two-time Western Athletic Conference selection as an outfielder in 2005 and 2006. The Honolulu native was selected in the 21st round by the Chicago White Sox in the 2006 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft after hitting .347 with 32 runs and 40 RBI as a senior in helping the Rainbows finish with a 45-17 mark and a berth in the NCAA Regional in Corvallis, Oregon.

During his freshman season of 2003, Inouye led UH with a .339 batting average, earning Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors.

A member of current Chaminade head coach Chad Konishi's first recruiting class at Hawai'i, Inouye was a highly-touted prospect out of Mid-Pacific Institute where he earned All-Interscholastic League of Honolulu and all-state honors during his senior year, where he was drafted in the 41st round by Boston out of high school.

Inouye played professionally before joining the Silverswords' coaching staff and is also a pre- and post-game analyst for University of Hawai'i Manoa baseball telecasts on Spectrum Sports.
