Royel Strop

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked St. Louis Cardinals #18 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
  
  Track Record: The Dominican outfielder and the son of former major league reliever Pedro Strop, signed with the Cardinals in January for $1.4 million. Strop is 6-foot-1, 165 pounds, young for the class and is a baseball rat who does a lot of things well.
  
  Scouting Report: Strop is a lefthanded hitter with a knack for being able to go with where the ball is pitched, flashing home run power to his pull side along with the ability to backspin balls to left-center. Some scouts had concerns about contact with Strop, but those highest on him liked his hitting ability, strike-zone judgment and potential to grow into bigger power as well once he fills out his wiry frame. Strop is a plus runner who should be able to retain his speed as he gets older and has an above-average arm that could also tick up with strength gains.
  
  The Future: Strop will be the top prospect to debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2025 for the Cardinals.
