Matthew Aaron Treanor (born March 3, 1976 in Garden Grove, California) is a catcher for the Florida Marlins in Major League Baseball. Treanor made his Major League debut on June 2, 2004, against the Cincinnati Reds, going 1 for 3 with a run scored. In what was the highlight of his season, Treanor recorded his first RBI on a walk-off single against the Chicago White Sox on June 17. In 2005, Treanor played his first full season with the Marlins, playing backup behind starting catcher Paul Lo Duca. He showed off his defensive prowess on April 15 against the Washington Nationals, when he threw out all three base runners who attempted to steal. Treanor hit his first Major League home run against Daniel Cabrera of the Baltimore Orioles on June 20, 2006.
He previously had played with the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes, being called up to the majors twice in 2004.
In November 2003, Treanor met beach volleyball star Misty May at a rehabilitation facility in California. They got engaged in March 2004 and were married in November 2004. May and teammate Kerri Walsh won the gold medal for the women's beach volleyball tournament at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
