Brent Honeywell Stats & Scouting Report - Baseball America
Brent Honeywell
Name: Brent Lee Honeywell
Born: Mar 31, 1995 in Carnesville, Ga. USA
College: Walters State (Tenn.) JC
Drafted in the supplemental 2nd round (72nd overall) by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2014 (signed for $800,000)
Undrafted out of high school, Honeywell has developed considerably in one junior college season, sporting a four-pitch mix. The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder has an athletic build with room to add strength. His velocity has increased as the season has worn on, sitting 89-93 mph while touching 95 down the stretch from a short stride and quick arm. His breaking ball is a below-average offering, while his changeup has average potential. His out pitch is his screwball that is tough for scouts to evaluate because of how infrequently he uses it, but it has above-average potential. Honeywell is an athlete with a good feel for pitching and strike-throwing ability, so he should be able to remain a starter. His father, also named Brent, played in the minor leagues.
