Jonathan Schoop
baseball player
Jonathan Rufino Jezus Schoop ( SCOPE; born October 16, 1991) is a Curaçaoan professional baseball second baseman for the Dorados de Chihuahua of the Mexican League. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, and Detroit Tigers. He was an All-Star in 2017.
Professional career
Before he became a major leaguer, he played in the 2003 and 2004 Little League World Series for Curaçao.
Schoop was considered the best player on the 2004 team that won the tournament, which included fellow future MLB All Star Jurickson Profar.
Schoop signed with the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent in 2008. In 2011, Schoop and Manny Machado represented the Orioles at the 2011 All-Star Futures Game. That year, he was named the Brooks Robinson Minor League Player of the Year, given to the best player in the Orioles minor league system. In his first two minor league seasons, Schoop primarily played shortstop, but starting in 2011, second base was his most frequent defensive position.
Prior to the 2012 season, Schoop was ranked by Baseball America as the Orioles' third-best prospect and the 82nd-best overall.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Jonathan Schoop”, the useful work is to connect “baseball player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3814639. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 2017, 2003 and 2004.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
