playing in California for the past two years(OK it was
softball)... "Chew" began his Irish career in 1992 as a member
of the "big 3"(Mark Foley and Jay Kreger) which many people
have considered to be one of Green Isle's recruiting classes...
Matt, who used to have an endorsement deal with Skoal,
hasn't had a dip since he left Minnesota in the fall of 2000...
Brother of Troy and son to Dave, Matt is the third member of
the Breyer family to play with the Irish... Matt's baseball career
got off to a delayed start due to the fact that he fancied
himself as a golfer during high school. Matty played one year
of high school baseball helping to lead Sibley East to a state
tournament berth. After graduation Matt continued playing
baseball at South Dakota State University... Matt is Green
Isle's all-time leader for home runs in a season clubbing 19 in
1999... Matt went 9-0 in 1998... threw a career high 124 2/3
innings in 1999 while compiling a 13-3 record... Matty earned
State All-Tournament honors in 1999 and 2003... Matt brings
a versatility to the Irish as he excels on the mound, in the
infield, and also the outfield.
