Professional career
Schoop was signed by the Baltimore Orioles as a free agent in 2008. In 2011, Schoop along with Manny Machado represented the Orioles at the 2011 All-Star Futures Game.[1] He was awarded the Brooks Robinson Minor League Player of the Year, given to the best player in the Orioles minor league system.[2][3]
Schoop played for the Netherlands national baseball team at the 2012 European Baseball Championship.[4]

In his first major league at-bat on September 25, 2013, Schoop hit a single off Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Esmil Rogers.
