Leave it to Davis Schneider to pick up where his roommate left off.
With Ernie Clement off to the World Baseball Classic, someone needed to channel his antics while the other members of the Toronto Blue Jays toil away at camp. Enter Clement's best friend and living buddy Schneider.
On Thursday, "the babe" showed up to team batting practice wearing a Team USA WBC Jersey bearing the name of his teammate.
Always support your roommate 🤗

Clement made start in outfield
In a video posted online, Schneider can be seen - clad in Clement's number 5 - standing at the batter's box alongside Addison Barger, before taking some swings himself.
It''s not the first time this Spring a Team USA Jersey has appeared on the field at Dunedin. During the winter olympics, George Springer came to bat dressed in his country's hockey jersey.
During Wednesday's tune up against the Colorado Rockies, Clement found himself in the lineup for Team USA.
What was unusual however was that Clement started in left field, a position Schneider is well familiar with.
That should make for some great roommate fodder upon Clement's return.
Team USA opens their 2026 World Baseball Classic against Team Brazil at 8pm ET on Sportsnet+.
No word yet on whether Clement will be in the lineup. Either way, his roommate will most definitely be watching.
