Chadden Michael "Chad" Kreuter (pronounced /ˈkruːtər/; born August 26, 1964) is a former catcher in Major League Baseball and the former head coach of the USC Trojans baseball team.

Kreuter played for seven different ballclubs during his career: the Texas Rangers (1988–1991, 2003), Detroit Tigers (1992–1994), Seattle Mariners (1995), Chicago White Sox (1996–1997, 1998), Anaheim Angels (1997–1998), Kansas City Royals (1999) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2000–2002). He made his major league debut on September 14, 1988, and played his final game in 2003.

Kreuter's best season was 1993 with the Tigers, when he batted .286 with 15 home runs and slugged .484, while appearing in a career high 119 games.

Kreuter's career included the unusual occurrence that he was traded from the White Sox to the Angels twice. The White Sox sent him along with Tony Phillips to the Angels on May 18, 1997, and after he signed back with the Sox as a free-agent in the off-season, they again sent him to Anaheim on September 18, 1998.

Kreuter was named the coach of the USC Trojans on June 2, 2006, after former coach Mike Gillespie (who is also his father-in-law) retired. He was relieved as head coach on August 9, 2010, posting a 111-117 record in four years.[1]

In December, 2009, he was sued by former battery-mate Chan Ho Park and Ken Collier for non-repayment of a $460,000 loan.[2]
