2025 is beginning to look like the season of Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement.
After winning the 2025 Fielding Bible Award and a finalist for not one, but two gold glove awards, the lovable Blue Jays infielder is up for another accolade. He is the Blue Jays nominee for the Heart and Hustle Award.
Ernie's Game: Heart AND Hustle!
The winner will be announced in Mid-November on the MLB Network.
Ernie Clement is having the time of his life
The award goes to players who "exemplify a true passion for the game and who best embody the values, spirit, and tradition of the game."
Perhaps no player fits that description better and no player embodies the ethos, culture, and soul of the Blue Jays more so than Ernie Clement.
The Heart and Hustle Award is also unique in that it is the only award voted on by former players and league alumni. The overall winner is determined by a combination of alumni and fan votes.
Clement now known around the baseball world
Clement, who has been a fan favorite in Toronto for a few seasons is now known to the international baseball community after hitting 400 in the postseason.
