Clearwater Threshers outfielder Jiandido Tromp has been a key contributor as he helps to lead his team’s offense in the chase of a Florida State League playoff berth.
With seven games remaining in the regular season schedule, the Threshers are three games behind division leading Dunedin for the second half North division title.
In 54 games since he was promoted to Class A Advanced Clearwater in June, the 22-year-old Aruba native sports a .242 average with 12 doubles, a triple, nine home runs and 31 RBI.
This week I spoke with the righty batting Tromp about how he’s helping make Clearwater great again with his recent success (seven RBI in the last four games), the team’s postseason hopes and more.
