Coach Matt

Matt has been playing baseball since the age of 4 and represented Waipio Little League. As he got older, his passion for the game continued to grow and will forever be part of who he is. He feels grateful to experienced all the joy of playing at the collegiate level. Matt played three years at Central Arizona JUCO, one year at UH Manoa, then finished his career at Austin Peay State University. He gained so much love and appreciation for his past coaches that he is choosing to share what he has learned to the young athletes in the Hawaii baseball community as a BIG MAHALO for allowing him to play his heart out in his career.

Matt's dream is to one day open a Home Plate Hawaii baseball facility that includes multiple batting cages, fully equiped with the latest training technology, a half turf infield, and a weight room. The purpose behind this goal is to give Hawaiiʻs youth players all the tools they need to train harder and continue to fall in love with the sport, just like he did.
