Honeycutt is a dynamic athlete who was one of the most impressive freshman hitters in the country in 2022, when he put together a 25/25 season, with 25 home runs and 29 stolen bases. A 6-foot-3, 205-pound center fielder, Honeycutt has the speed, athleticism and instincts to be a plus defender and brings impressive raw power to the table, though he has yet to hit over .300 in a single season and will need to prove his pure hitting ability in 2024. He did make strides as a sophomore by cutting his strikeout rate from 29.7% to 20.4%, though his overall 2023 production was lacking compared to his debut season. In terms of toolset, athleticism and defensive profile, Honeycutt is one of the most appealing all-around profiles in the 2024 draft class, but without any significant wood bat track record he’ll need to instill confidence in his pure hitting chops in 2024.
