2026 Fantasy Outlook
Clement is a throwback to the era of utility infielders who could also hit and play anywhere on the infield. In 15-game leagues, Clement qualifies at all four spots in the infield while standard 20-game leagues just get third, short and second. Clement shed the utility part of his label by playing in 157 games and showing he could be an asset in the Toronto lineup by scoring runs and hitting for average with some of the best contact in baseball. Only Arraez, Hoerner and Kwan have better contact rates than Clement since the start of the 2024 season (min 1,000 PA.) Clement, however is a two-category fantasy asset with his average and his runs, as long as he stays near the top of the lineup. His defense will likely keep him in the everyday lineup somewhere, but if Toronto does any upgrades to the roster, Clement's spot in the lineup could be pushed to the bottom, which then turns him into a one-category producer.

Signed a one-year, $4.6 million contract with the Blue Jays in January of 2026.
Dodges arbitration
Clement signed a one-year, $4.6 million contract with the Blue Jays on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Clement slashed .277/.313/.398 with 50 RBI and 83 runs scored over 588 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season before batting an absurd .411 with nine RBI and scoring 13 runs during Toronto's postseason run, which fell just one game short of a World Series title. The 29-year-old will receive a $2.63 million raise as a reward for his efforts and will likely spend most of his time at second base in 2026 following the Jays' acquisition of third baseman Kazuma Okamoto during the offseason.

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
2025
2024
2021
2020
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.
