Marcus Earl Stroman (born May 1, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, and Chicago Cubs. Stroman’s height is listed at 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m),[1] making him one of only six pitchers shorter than 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) to make a start at the MLB level in the 21st century.[2]

Stroman attended Duke University, and played college baseball for the Duke Blue Devils. He made his MLB debut with the Blue Jays in 2014. After the regular season, he won a 2017 Gold Glove Award. Stroman was named an All-Star in 2019, and the Blue Jays traded him to the Mets later in the 2019 season. He signed a three-year contract for the Cubs prior to the 2022 season and opted out of his third year at the end of the 2023 season.

On the international level, Stroman has represented both the United States and Puerto Rican national teams. With the U.S. in 2017, he was named the World Baseball Classic MVP.
