Matthew Hanks LeCroy (born December 13, 1975 in Belton, South Carolina, USA) is a Major League Baseball player. He plays first base and catcher. He is currently on the roster for the Washington Nationals. LeCroy has the distinction of being the active player with the most plate appearances without a stolen base in his career. During a May 25, 2006 game against the Houston Astros, LeCroy was removed from the game in the middle of the seventh inning after the Astros stole seven bases and LeCroy committed two throwing errors. LeCroy, a reserve player for the Nationals at the time, was the third-string catcher behind Wiki González and starter Brian Schneider. Frank Robinson, the manager for the Nationals, cried at the press conference because of LeCroy's embarrassment. LeCroy would be designated for assignment July 18, and is currently playing for the New Orleans Zephyrs, Washington's Triple-A team, but is not on the Nationals 40-man roster.
LeCroy is a 1994 graduate of Belton-Honea Path High School in Belton and has attended Clemson University, pursuing a degree in elementary education. He and his wife Holly (née Reid) have an adopted daughter, Isabella.
