The Toronto Blue Jays expected Ernie Clement to step up his game this season but no one expected him to play at the level he is currently playing at.
The Blue Jays are currently having a ton of trouble on the injury front between Daulton Varsho, Anthony Santander and Max Scherzer which is why Clement stepping up has meant so much.
Blue Jays Ernie Clement is on pace for the best season of his career
Clement has been incredible for the Blue Jays this season but the most incredible stat of all is that his current .306 batting average has him in the top 10 across the entire American League.
Clement, the chatty, fun-loving utility infielder, is quietly having one of the smoothest hitting seasons in the American League and certainly the best season of his MLB career.
The easy number to focus on is Clement's .306 average, which ranks in the top-10 of the AL. -Heyen

Another part of his game that is often looked past is that only 10% of his at bats result in strikeouts which proves just how affective he really is.
Just as interesting is how Clement gets to that number. He rarely strikes out, at just over 10% of his at bats, and he walks even less. -Heyen
So far this season, Clement has 4 homeruns, 24 RBIs with a .306 batting average and .349 on base percentage in 83 games and 272 at bats.
Not only has Clement been incredible for the Blue Jays on offense but he is the true meaning of a utility man as he has played 52 games at third base, 20 games at second, 12 at shortstop and 10 at first base.
He has played 52 games at third base, 20 at second, 12 at shortstop and 10 at first base. Talk about a super-utility infielder. -Heyen
While there has been rumors of the Blue Jays possibly trading Clement, this would not be the smartest move since replacing him would not be easy.
