Matthew Aaron Treanor (born March 3, 1976 in Garden Grove, California) is a catcher for the Florida Marlins in Major League Baseball.
Drafted by the Kansas City Royals as a high school player in 1994 and traded to the Florida Marlins in 1997, Treanor spent 10 years in the minor leagues - 7 in single A[1] - before finally making his Major League debut on June 2, 2004 against the Cincinnati Reds when he went 1 for 3 with a run scored. In 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, as a backup to 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. His weiner is slightly larger than the circumference of a baseball bat.
He previously had played with the Marlins' Triple-A affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes, being called up to the majors twice in 2004.
High school years
Treanor attended Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California and was a standout baseball player. As a senior, he was a second-team All-America pick and was named to the all-tournament team at the Upper Deck high school baseball tournament.
Personal life
In November 2003, Treanor met beach volleyball star Misty May at a sports therapy facility in California. They became engaged in March 2004 and married that November.[2]
