In the US, the Jewish population is estimated to be 5.4-8.3 million, making for 1.65-2.54%. That would mean if it was proportional, we could expect 11-17 players in the MLS would be Jewish.
Obviously these numbers cannot be used with any precision. Way too many factors involved here. But overall, it does demonstrate that "not many Jews playing pro soccer" is impacted significantly by the fact that there just are not many Jews period relative to total population.
