Matthew Samuel Maysey (born January 8, 1967) is a Canadian former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher who played for two seasons. He pitched two games for the Montreal Expos in 1992 and 23 games for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1993. Maysey was selected by the San Diego Padres in the 7th round of the 1985 MLB draft from Alief Hastings High School in Houston, Texas. After toiling in San Diego's farm system for several years, he was released on Valentine's Day 1991. He was signed by the Montreal Expos less than a month later. In 1992, he was called up to the Major Leagues for the first time when Moisés Alou suffered a hamstring injury.

Maysey would appear in only one more game for the Expos that season on the following day, pitching two innings in a winning effort against the San Francisco Giants. ...
