Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55

A solid high school prospect from Northern California in Las Gatos -- just south of San Jose -- Troy went undrafted in 2020 due to a combination of the shortened Draft and his strong commitment to Stanford. He’s been a regular almost from the get-go and saw his offensive production increase exponentially as a sophomore in '22 before spending his second strong summer in the Cape Cod League, where he was named the circuit’s best prospect after slashing .310/.386/.531.

Troy’s standout tool is his ability to make consistent, hard contact from the right side of the plate. He has impressive bat-to-ball skills and rarely strikes out or chases out of the zone, showing excellent pitch recognition, though there are some moving parts of his swing. There’s enough extra-base pop in there for there not to be concerns about impact at the next level and he could have average power in the future. He’s answered some concerns about his approach and lack of walks by being more selective in 2023.

Troy is an above-average runner, though he hadn’t been much of a basestealing threat until this spring, and he slid over and played a good amount of shortstop on the Cape last summer. He moved to the hot corner for Stanford this year, but most teams see him as a future solid second-base type, with enough speed to perhaps play center field, to go along with some offensive upside.

A strong commitment to Stanford and the shortened Draft kept Troy from being selected in 2020, but he quickly became a regular contributor for the Cardinal. He truly broke out as a sophomore in the spring of 2022 and then carried that to the Cape Cod League (where he also appeared in 2021) as the circuit’s best prospect with a .310/.386/.531 line. He posted a .394/.478/.699 line with 17 homers (equal to his totals from the previous two years) over 58 games in his final season on campus in 2023 and went 12th overall to the Diamondbacks in July. Troy appeared in 23 games for High-A Hillsboro last summer but needed surgery in September to address a fracture in his left foot. He's dealt with a hamstring issue for much of 2024 but has earned praise from Arizona coaches for the diligence of his work, both to return and to improve in a rough first full season.

Troy caught pre-Draft attention from evaluators for his improved ability to drive the ball from the right side, and his bat-to-ball skills, pitch recognition and overall discipline all took nice steps forward. He continued to show quick hands in pro ball and sent nine of his 21 hits with Hillsboro for extra bases, aiding the belief that he’ll hit for at least average power by the time he reaches the Majors.

The California native has above-average speed and started stealing more bases in 2023 -- a trend that could continue as he puts the foot issues in the rearview. Troy played second, short and third base in college, but he saw the six exclusively in pro ball with Arizona officials taking away that he could at least handle himself there. Even if he needs to move to second -- and that’s a possibility with Jordan Lawlar also in the system -- Troy has upside as a multiskilled talent up the middle.
