Prospect Video: Gauntlett Eldemire



Gauntlett Eldemire is an outfielder for the Ohio Bobcats. He enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign, hitting .313/.443/.682 with 21 home runs and 11 stolen bases. Eldemire doesn't just have one of the best names in college baseball, he's also the rare college player with above-average speed, running the 60-yard dash in 6.46 seconds. Eldemire tried out for Team USA last summer, but was sidelined with a stress fracture in his left tibia. It kept him out of action in the summer, but he's fine now and the injury didn't affect his speed.

The Bobcats opened play this season with a tournament in Elon, N.C. Here is a video of Eldemire in the 9th inning of his game on Saturday, Feb. 20 against Elon. He worked the count to 3-2 before hitting an opposite-field home run about 390 feet.

The stance looks a lot like Jermaine Dye.  Not so much in the swing though.  

Awesome video. I'm not sure about Eldemire's bat speed, though.

Very cool, more of these please!  Simple set up, quiet swing.  I like it.

wood? no track record

It was his only hit all weekend..
