Ernie Clement has been one of the better hitters for the Blue Jays this season and during the playoffs, and he continues to impress on the biggest stage.

With his double at the bottom of the eighth inning during Game 7 of the World Series, Clement recorded his 30th hit of the postseason, a new MLB record.

Batting towards the bottom of the order, Clement continued to find ways to get on base and was a key part of the team’s success during October and early November.

As well, Clement set another record earlier in the game. With a single in the second inning, he set a new MLB record for the most singles in a single postseason with 22. This also set a franchise record for the Blue Jays, with the right-hander extending his postseason hit streak to 13 games, overtaking Pat Borders for the record.

The New York native has been a pesky bat this postseason, and while he hasn’t been producing with power like many expect from postseason contributors, he did it his own way through contact and putting the ball in play. This was evident in Game 7, when he helped elevate Shohei Ohtani’s pitch count early on.

For the postseason, Clement owns a .417/.421/.569 slash line with his 30 hits, six doubles, one triple, and one home run. He also owns a .990 OPS and nine RBIs while authoring a .426 BABIP.
