Vance Honeycutt is capping off his North Carolina baseball career with some honors.
In addition to earning another All-American honor from D1Baseball, Honeycutt was also named to the College World Series All-Tournament team.
The award was announced on Tuesday, a day after the Tennessee Volunteers beat Texas A&M in game three. Honeycutt was North Carolina’s best player in Omaha and was a key cog in the Tar Heels getting to Omaha by winning the Chapel Hill Regional and then Super Regional.
He was one of four Atlantic Coast Conference players to earn a spot on the team as he joined NC State’s Alec Makarewicz, Florida State’s Jaxson West, and Jaime Ferrer.

While UNC went 1-2 in Omaha, Honeycutt performed well. He had five hits, five RBI’s, and two home runs including a walk-off hit against Virginia in the first game. His defense also stood out, which was a something we saw all year as he won the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award.
Honeycutt will likely hear his name called in the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft in July.
