OF Travis Honeyman is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound outfielder with an all-around toolset that allows him to impact the game in numerous ways. Scouts rave about his contact ability and power potential. He also has a quality feel for the strike zone, as he recorded 16 strikeouts compared to 11 walks last season.
In the offseason, Honeyman has worked on adding strength to his frame and tightening up his two-strike approach.

1. OF Travis Honeyman, Boston College.
Bat: R. Throw: R. 6'2", 190 lbs. Born 10/2/2001. Hometown: Massapequa, NY.
2022: 6 HR, .329/.402/.506, 5 SB, 16/11 K/BB in 41 games.
Boston College hasn't seen much team success lately with just one winning season out of the past six, but they have produced plenty of high end draft prospects including Justin Dunn, Cody Morissette, Luke Gold, Sal Frelick, the latter of whom shares some similarities to Travis Honeyman. Frelick, the fifteenth overall pick in 2021, was the school's highest drafted player since fourth overall pick Tony Sanchez in 2009, and Honeyman has a chance to beat Frelick this year. After picking up one (1) hit as a freshman in 2021, he broke out as one of the team's best hitters in 2022 and and boosted his stock further with an excellent run through the Cape Cod League, where he slashed .289/.400/.530 with four home runs in 24 games. He makes a ton of contact from the right side, striking out just 8.7% of the time at BC in 2022 and a still-solid 18.2% on the Cape, with exceptional adjustability in his swing and the ability to get to balls all over the zone. He's similar to Frelick in that sense, but at 6'2", his long arms and extremely quick hands help him produce high exit velocities and above average pull side power in games. It's hard to bust him in, as he can pull those hands in and turn on the ball with the best of them, but he has no problem going the other way either and the power will start to come that way as he gets stronger. The Long Island native is not quite as fast as Frelick and is not guaranteed to stick in center field, but he may hit for more impact while maintaining nearly as high an on-base percentage, though to this point he makes too much contact early in counts to draw high numbers of walks. Honeyman has plenty of upside, with the chance to hit 20+ home runs a year with high, batting average-driven on-base percentages, potentially from center field.

11. Travis Honeyman, OF, Boston College
Honeyman has some of the best all-around tools in the college crop and the potential for upward mobility as scouts get a better look at him. He was a reserve as a freshman and missed time as a sophomore and again in the Cape Cod League with leg injuries, but he also has batted .364/.470/.653 with wood bats in two years of summer ball, including 11 homers and 18 steals in 54 games. He has the ability to hit for average and power, plus speed, solid center-field skills and average arm strength.

18. Milwaukee Brewers
Travis Honeyman, Outfield, Boston College
The Brewers have gone almost exclusively in the direction of draft college bats in recent drafts and they’ll have quite a crop to pick from here if they repeat that approach. Honeyman had a massive 2022 at school and followed that up by impressing on the Cape, an impressive acclaim in a down year offensively out there. Honeyman can handle any of the three outfield position, but there are plenty of evaluators who believe he’s a future plus defensive centerfielder. The bat projects above average as well.

13. Travis Honeyman
Outfield, Boston College
Honeyman has essentially been a steady performer throughout his college career, both on campus and in wood-bat summer leagues. A primary left fielder, Honeyman is an above average runner with high-level instincts. He's got a fringy arm, and will almost certainly stay in left field moving forward. Honeyman really began to turn heads as one of the better hitters on the Caps this past summer. It's solid-average power at the plate, mostly to his pull-side. Honeyman is a solid player in almost every aspect of the game and is a bit of a sum-of-his-parts type of player.
