 Finding guys with five tool potential is a tough task, but Honeycutt has the potential to be that type of player. Honeycutt showed plenty of improvements in the strikeout department in 2023, dropping the strikeout rate significantly, though that came with the price of production. In 2024, he's prioritized lifting the ball and has seen his whiff/chase rates balloon as a result. He may never find that happy medium with the hit tool, but it's nice to see the power return to his 2022 form, where he hit 25 home runs. 

His walk rate has held steady, as well. He's an excellent runner underway and he's shown it on the basepaths and in center, where he projects to stick long term. It's excellent range with defensive prowess, making highlight reel plays look easy. If a team can trust its development team to make the hit tool consistent, he'll unlock all five tools.

  1. Ugh we are in need of a star

    But I really want an arm

    Arms have higher values in trades but we have to hit

  2. My guess is the Mets will go for the highest rated BAT on their board when they pick
