For the first time since September 2017, Brent Honeywell has pitched in a professional game.
At one time Honeywell was among the top pitching prospects in all of baseball as he displayed a dazzling array of pitches, including an awe-inspiring screwball. He dominated during his appearance at the 2017 Futures Game and became the first pitcher to be given the Larry Doby Award, naming him the Futures Game MVP.
He was seemingly on the cusp of reaching the big leagues, it was all just a matter of when.
As the Rays fought for postseason contention during the dog days of the 2017 season, there was a lot of conversations held about Honeywell making an appearance at some point.
