23. 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.

16. San Francisco Giants: Travis Honeyman, OF, Boston College
Honeyman can play all three outfield positions because he’s a plus defender. He had a very productive 2022 and raked on the Cape to improve his draft stock. If he can prove scouts wrong that his bat projects as just above average, he could soar farther up the board.

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.

Now, current BC outfielder Travis Honeyman looks to be next in line.
Honeyman began his rise in the summer of 2021, when he won MVP honors and broke the batting record in the NECBL with a .430 mark. He followed that with a strong 2022 season, albeit one where he missed a dozen games due to injury, batting .329/.402/.506 with Boston College. What really sent buzz about Honeyman into overdrive, though, was an impressive turn in the Cape Cod League this past summer, where he batted .289/.400/.530 before a hamstring injury cut short his campaign.
His calling card is an exciting set of tools on offense. His bat speed, bat-to-ball skills—he struck out just 16 times at BC last season—and veteran approach give him an extremely high floor for offensive production, and the strides he made in accessing his power on the Cape perhaps shows a higher ceiling than previously anticipated. Defensively, he has played almost exclusively the corner outfield spots at BC but handled center on the Cape and moves well enough that he could play there if called upon.
He goes into the 2023 season as the clear centerpiece of the BC lineup.

17. Travis Honeyman, OF, Boston College – If you are looking for a guy with big tools, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a very good all around baseball player though, you have found that in Honeyman. He is a guy who has average power, makes plenty of contact, can run a little, and play solid defense. He has spent most of his collegiate career in left, but there might be enough speed and instincts to be a decent center fielder. The arm is below average, so his overall defensive profile will probably never be better than average, but his success in wood bat summer leagues prove he won’t struggle with that part of the transition to pro ball.

28. New York Yankees | Travis Honeyman, OF, Boston College
Honeyman is an aggressive right-handed hitting outfielder who makes a lot of hard contact and has significant power to his pull side that he’s really just starting to unlock, giving him pretty standout offensive upside and middle-order projection. He’s played mostly left field in his collegiate career and projects to that spot, but is a solid overall athlete and defender who should add some defensive value. -BS

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.
