10 most impactful players for the 2024 College World Series
Vance Honeycutt, OF, North Carolina
North Carolina has a deep lineup as the top four hitters by average on its roster all hit .337 or better. Honeycutt isn鈥檛 a part of that group, but he still brings a lot to the table for the Tar Heels including a pretty powerful bat. On the season, Honeycutt has hit .314 with 26 home runs and 65 RBIs while leading the team in total bases (170) and runs (85). Honeycutt also leads the team with a .702 slugging percentage and a 1.111 OPS, but what sets him apart is his speed and range in the outfield as the 6-foot-3, 205-pound junior has earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors back-to-back in 2023 and 2024. Honeycutt has continued to be a leader in all facets for the Tar Heels this postseason and will be at the core of UNC鈥檚 success in Omaha.
