Matthew John Sczesny [says'-nee] (September 7, 1932 – January 3, 2009) was an American infielder and manager in minor league baseball, and a longtime scout for the Boston Red Sox of the American League.

Sczesny graduated from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Brooklyn, and attended St. John's University. He signed with the Red Sox in 1954 and played in their farm system through {{by|1959}}, except for the 1957 campaign, which he missed while performing military service. He was named a member of the 1955 Sally League All-Star team as an infielder, while a member of the Montgomery Rebels.[1] In {{by|1960}}, Sczesny became a manager in the Boston system with the Waterloo Hawks of the Class D Midwest League, and he promptly led the Hawks to the MWL championship—the only league title he would win as a manager.

He died at age 76 from cancer in West Islip, New York, on January 3, 2009.[2] {{start box}}{{succession box | title=Pawtucket Red Sox (Eastern League) manager | before=Franchise established | years=1970| after= Billy Gardner}}{{end box}} References1. ^Johnson, Lloyd and Wolff, Miles, eds., The Minor League Encyclopedia, 3rd edition.
