Honeycutt Named D1 Baseball Preseason All-America

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – D1 Baseball named North Carolina junior outfielder Vance Honeycutt to its preseason All-America Third Team on Monday. The honor is the second for Honeycutt, who was named to Perfect Game's preseason All-America team earlier this month.

A native of Salisbury, N.C., Honeycutt earned All-ACC honors last season and tied for sixth in the conference in base on balls (49) and steals (19). He posted a .910 OPS with 12 home runs and 43 RBIs and was voted ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

As a freshman in 2022, Honeycutt was tabbed third-team All-America by Baseball America, D1 Baseball, and Perfect Game while earning consensus Freshman All-America status. He set the UNC single-season record for home runs (25) and ranked second among all NCAA Division I freshmen in home runs, runs scored (66), total bases (166), and third in slugging percentage (.672) and stolen bases (29) as well as fourth in triples (4).

The Diamond Heels will open the 2024 season with a three-game series against Wagner at Boshamer Stadium from Feb. 16-18.
