2024 Fantasy Outlook

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. Read Past Outlooks

Clement went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

ANALYSIS
Batting second Sunday and getting another start at shortstop in the absence of Bo Bichette (finger), Clement continued a strong September that has seen him slash .292/.301/.389 in 18 games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs. The 28-year-old infielder should retain a regular spot in the lineup over the final week of the season, and he's positioned himself for a prime role in the Blue Jays' 2025 plans.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021

2020

Clement, a fourth-round pick by Cleveland in 2017, spent 2020 at the team's alternate site as part of the 60-player pool. His 2019 season at Double-A was underwhelming for a 23-year-old at that level, but Clement did follow that up with a respectable .303/.365/.364 showing in the Arizona Fall League that year. He must have held his own in intrasquad games since Cleveland added him to the 40-man roster in November of 2020. Contact and speed with have to carry Clement since he does not any real power to speak of -- not enough to realistically profile as Francisco Lindor's long-term replacement at shortstop. Chances are, Clement will max out as a utility player. There is nothing wrong with that.

Cleveland selected Clement with the 132nd pick of the 2017 draft. As a freshman with Virginia, Clement was the shortstop when the Cavaliers won the College World Series in 2015. The following summer, he as named the Cape Cod League MVP. Clement's calling card is contact with above average speed but no power. He's known as a heady player with the glove to play shortstop but an arm more befitting the keystone. Clement also played center field in college, adding to the likelihood his long-term future is as a defensive minded utility player, with the ability to get on base and steal some bases. That said, Clement needs to work on technique as the 65 percent success rate recorded in the minors won't cut it at the highest level. Clement should open 2020 with Triple-A Columbus where he played three games to finish the 2020 campaign.
