On May 24, 2013, Tromp signed with the Cincinnati Reds organization as an international free agent. He was assigned to the rookie-level Arizona League Reds, where he spent the season. In 2014, Tromp split time between the AZL Reds and the Single-A Dayton Dragons. He batted .311/.345/.472 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 106 at-bats.[2]

In 2019, Tromp spent time with the AZL Reds and Louisville. He batted a combined .280/.397/.568 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in 125 at-bats.[2] He elected free agency following the season on November 4.[5]

San Francisco Giants

On January 6, 2020, Tromp signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants organization.[6] On July 28, he was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[7][8] Tromp made his MLB debut the next day against the San Diego Padres and went hitless in four at bats.[9] Tromp hit his first home run in the majors on August 2, in a 9–5 loss to the Texas Rangers.[10] In 24 games for San Francisco during his rookie season, Tromp batted .213/.219/.426 with four home runs and 10 RBI.[11] On December 2, Tromp was non-tendered by the Giants and became a free agent.[12] On December 9, Tromp re-signed with the Giants on a major league contract.[13]

Tromp made nine appearances for San Francisco in 2021, hitting .222 with one home run and two RBI.[14] On September 18, Tromp was designated for assignment by the Giants.[15]
