It didn’t take long for former North Carolina Tar Heels standout Vance Honeycutt to move up in the Baltimore Orioles organization. In fact, it took just eight games.
The franchise announced some roster moves within the organization on Sunday including moving their first-round pick in 2024 up. Honeycutt is going from the low-A Carolina League with the Delmarva Shorebirds to the Aberdeen Ironbirds in the high-A South Atlantic League.
He was one of 2024 Baltimore draft picks to get that promotion here early in September, moving up shortly in their careers. While it’s not a promotion to AA or AAA, it’s still a move up in the organization and has value with that.

In his short time with the Shorebirds, Honeycutt hit .226 with three RBI’s, a double, and four steals. He also drew four walks and did not commit an error in the game she played in.
With a month left in the season, Honeycutt has the chance to make a good early impression with his new organization. It will be interesting to see where he starts next season with the Orioles.
