"Clement became an everyday player in the lineup due to his defense. Doolittle compared Clement to Ben Zobrist's defense during his World Series championship seasons which he won as a member of the Kansas City Royals and Chicago Cubs. This season, Clement is third on the Blue Jays in hits and doubles and has set career highs in hits, runs scored, doubles and walks drawn in 2025."
"The Blue Jays have the best record in the American League, and are seeking their first division title in a decade. 2025 could also be the first time since 1993 that the Blue Jays finished with the best record in baseball. As the regular season is winding down, we have a very big sample to conclusively say which Blue Jays players are having success and which ones are not."
After winning 74 games in 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays sit atop the AL East in mid-September 2025, holding the American League's best record and pursuing their first division title in a decade. A strong regular-season stretch raises the possibility of the franchise finishing with baseball's best record for the first time since 1993. Ernie Clement has emerged as an everyday player through standout defense and career highs in hits, runs, doubles, and walks. Jeff Hoffman's performance has declined after early success, producing a 4.64 ERA, a career-high seven losses, and 33 of 34 runs allowed as earned.
