2025 Fantasy Outlook
Clement has shown an ability to hit minor league pitching, but even that was only recently, as he had a solid season for Triple-A Buffalo around between moving to and from the big league roster. However, Clement left Triple-A in the rearview mirror in 2024 and went on to do something five other active players have done: He had an at-bat/strikeout ratio greater than 10.0 in a season of 450 or more plate appearances. Only David Fletcher, Kevin Newman, Jose Altuve and Luis Arraez (3x!) have that on their resumes. Clement, however, hit more homers than those players, with 12. Let's stay weird; despite all that contact, Clement had a poor .284 OBP because he put too many balls into play. He has dual-eligibility to the left side of the infield, but Bichette's return rules out shortstop, while Clement really is not an everyday player at third base. He is out of options, so he is all but certain to have a roster spot with the Jays. What he does with that roster spot is up to him, but he profiles more as a flexible reserve than he does an everyday corner man. Read Past Outlooks
Atop depth chart at third base
Clement is the favorite to begin the season as the Blue Jays' starting third baseman, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Toronto's affinity for utility players likely means Clement won't stay at the hot corner, however -- the 28-year-old saw 41 games at shortstop last season in addition to 96 at third base, and he has prior experience at second base and in left field as well. Clement slashed a passable .263/.284/.408 in 2024 with 12 homers and 12 steals over 452 plate appearances, but he'll be pushed for playing time by Will Wagner, Orelvis Martinez, Addison Barger and others as the Jays look for more offense from their lineup.

Stat Review
How does Ernie Clement compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Clement spent 30 games in the majors in 2023, slashing an impressive .380/.385/.500 across 52 plate appearances, backing up 320 Triple-A plate appearances where he hit .348/.401/.544. The small sample in the majors also came with a .885 OPS as he played well when given an opportunity. Therein lies the problem however, as Clement's chances were few and far between in 2023. Things don't look much better for Clement in 2024 as the signing of Isiah Kiner-Falefa knocks him down the utility man depth chart for the Blue Jays.
