With help from an outside source, Orioles’ Honeycutt hitting his stride in Fall League

Baltimore Orioles prospect Vance Honeycutt has shown significant offensive improvement in the Arizona Fall League after working with private hitting coach Gerardo Caceres. Selected 22nd overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, Honeycutt initially struggled with high strikeout rates in Single-A and High-A before making mechanical adjustments to quiet his hands and simplify his swing.

Following a mid-August promotion to Double-A, where he posted a .288 batting average, Honeycutt continued his strong form in the Fall League with three home runs and eight stolen bases across 14 games. Evaluators note his high defensive potential and power-speed combination as he looks to carry his refined approach into the upcoming season.
