The Orioles selected Vance Honeycutt with their 1st pick in the 2024 MLB draft at 22. Here are some highlights mostly from 2024. Thanks for watching #orioles #baseball #mlb
He got drafted by the right team. Only issue is the K%. Westburg had similar issues in AA, and the O's fixed them. Per J.Calls of MLB, if O's can turn his BA into league average, O's will get a 30/30player, with Gold Glove defense in CF. He could potentially be a homerun , like Gunnar.
Man this guy is the very definition of a five tool player, if they can get his whiff rate a bit more manageable he seems like he has superstar written all over him. What a pick for #22.
I'll be honest I'm pretty set on Bradfield being the replacement for Mullins. We already have a surplus of Bats and not enough arms. Why no pitching? Did we draft him just to trade him if he does become good?
Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like drafting BPA is generally best in the draft. Can always trade these guys at surplus positions later for positions of need. For example: Ortiz and Hall for Burns. Ortiz was a really good infielder but was never going to see play with the logjam of good infielders that we have. So we flipped him + Hall for a Cy-Young candidate on the last year of his deal.
@xlmacro8754 Yes, true and orioles have drafted many pitchers and watched it not work out. However, when trading for a talented pitcher we will always be in the same situation for how we acquired Burnes. Give away high ceiling guys for 1 year of an ace then we either let him go or we drop the bag on him. Meanwhile Milwaukee has their everyday 3rd basemen for a few years to come.

Completely agree
Only 3 tools in this vid
I couldn’t find any clips of his stolen bases, but he’s very fast. Look at his profile on mlb.com
💯 percent , I’m from North Carolina and unc fan and just moved to bmore this is perfect 😂🩵🥇
I never heard the word "AGAIN" so many times in one clip.....Clutch and consistent, I love it🤣🤣 Welcome to Birdland🧡
Power, Speed, Defense. Love it. I trust our minor league system to help him with that whiff % to get that K% down
So basically Mike Trout. Love it
Impressive. Great selection.
Like him. He'll be in Baltimore by 2026.
O's just been drafting a bunch of true athletes in these Elias drafts.
LETS GO!!!!! O’s
Go Os and Go Heels!!
Let’s go O’s!!!

I agree with you but from what I am seeing we may move Bradfield at the deadline 🤷🏻♂️🇺🇲
We will see. Both need to improve their general hitting and contact ability. I think Honeycutt has a little more upside though
@@user-rv8el8xz6rI have seen absolutely no mention of this and I follow the team daily. Do you have sources?

Such a stud , he carried Carolina on his back if they would of had better hitters they could of definitely won it all
