Honeywell K's 5 Top 100 prospects in 2 perfect Fall Stars frames

"It was awesome," Honeywell said. "It was the first All-Star game I ever started, the first TV game, so I was pretty excited."

Honeywell, the No. 39 overall prospect, was just as dominant in the second, adding two more strikeouts to his total. He got Indians top prospect Bradley Zimmer (No. 25) and Toronto's Anthony Alford (No. 86) looking.

The right-hander threw 31 pitches, 21 strikes, and struck out five -- three via mid-90s fastballs and two with his screwball -- in two perfect innings

After posting a 2.34 ERA in 20 starts between Class A Advanced Charlotte and Double-A Montgomery this season, Honeywell got hit around in his first two AFL starts, allowing eight earned run in 4 1/3 innings.
