I'm not going to draw any conclusions off his start to his professional career, but the amount of miss is enough to give me a little pause. 

Now, he could very well be a slow starter kind of guy who because of his late start is why he's really struggle to find his footing, but he's going to need a lot of reworking this offseason.

Either way, we'll know a lot more after next season then we know right now. No reason to write him off, but also no reason to be overly optimistic. 

There's lots of talent in there. This will be a great test for the hitting development staff.

Well, if you’re not going to draw any conclusions how, at the same time, can you say he’s going to need a lot of reworking this off season?

Just saying.

Thanks for taking the time to post in the minor league section of the Orioles message boards to tell us how little you care about the minor leagues.  😉 Obviously the ML club is what matters most.

Below is my rough mental model (completely gut feel) for Honeycutt outcomes.  These estimates represents peak performance so variability in consistency and health would dilute aggregate WAR over contr

Nobody has said.  I’d expect either this coming Tuesday, or the following Tuesday.   Edit: Most, but not all, of the college hitters chosen ahead of Honeycutt have made their debuts in the last w

Huh?

That doesn't even make sense unless we're using different meanings for conclusions.

A conclusion to me is, "He's a bust!" or "He'll never make it!" based on his pro numbers. 

Saying that he's need some reworking in the offseason is not going out on much of a limb and is an observation.

You’re observing Honeycutt really struggle in his debut which has led you to the conclusion that he’s going to need a lot of reworking this off season.

 

Conclusion 

a judgment or decision reached by reasoning.

You are looking for reason here?  lol. Good luck.

Of course he needs to make adjustments. We knew that the day he drafted him. If he was batting 500 right now, he would still need to make adjustments. Thats what happens.

Honeycutt finally did something.  2 for 4 with 2 RBIs and scored a run.  I think it was just 2 singles, but at this point, I'm just happy with any hits.

I was starting to think late career Chris Davis was his hero.  Hopefully that gets him out of whatever funk he was in or gives him some confidence.

It could be Honeycutt has already been given things to work on and is struggling as a result.  When Holliday flopped his first stop in the majors, he was given things to work on at Norfolk with the O's knowing he would initially struggle down there as a result.

I went to the game with my son yesterday.  Honeycutt had a spectacular leaping grab near the CF wall and made solid contact as noted above for 2 singles.  Looked like an exciting player to watch.   Hopefully a sign of things to come; i imagine he will be right back there to start 2025.

      Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?

      O's .300 hitters

      Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!

      O’s look done

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.
