"Ernie Clement posted a combined 21 DRS, 15 OAA and 10 FRV across 1196.1 innings at second base, third base and shortstop in 2025, with the majority of his innings coming at third base."
"Giménez finished 2025 posting 9 DRS, 10 OAA and 7 FRV in 719.2 innings at second base. His OAA ranked 17th in all of baseball and second among second basemen."
"Despite the disappointing start, the Blue Jays have remained one of baseball's best on the defensive side, tied for fourth in FRV (8) after posting the best mark in baseball last year."
"The Gold Glove middle infield duo has kept the team in games, with their defensive mastery simply coming with the territory."
The Toronto Blue Jays have begun the 2026 season with an 11-15 record, disappointing compared to their 2025 performance. Their offensive output and pitching results have declined significantly. However, the team continues to excel defensively, ranking fourth in Fielding Runs Value (FRV). The middle infield duo of Ernie Clement and Andrés Giménez has been particularly effective, maintaining strong defensive metrics despite the team's struggles. Both players have shifted positions this season, impacting their roles on the field.
