The season That Was: Ernie Clement

But Ernie had good 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Jays, hitting .271/.301/.402 with 21 home runs. 101 RBI, 38 walks and 102 strikeouts. Ok, getting two walk a month isn't great, but the rest of his batting line was pretty good, especially when you add near Gold Glove defense into the mix. In the two years he's totaled 7.6 in bWAR

In 2024 he played mostly mostly third base and shortstop. In 2025 he split time between third and second (with a few games at short).

Baseball Reference had Ernie at a 1.1 WAR (down from 4.3 in 2025). FanGraphs 0.6 (down from 3.2 ) , giving him a value of $5.0 million to the Jays (he made $4.6 million).
