Scouting report
Clemens had a pretty strong 2019 in the Florida State League (his .238/.314/.411 line was above league average there), albeit as an old-for-the-level hitter whose sourced, proprietary xStats were below his batting line. He spent his 2020 summer playing in the Constellation Energy League in Texas and didn't perform especially well there, then finished the year in instructs. Clemens generates consistent hard contact because of the strength in his wrists and hands, he has a low-ball proclivity and can put balls out to left-center. His lower half and hands often appear disconnected, which can result in ugly contact that's still hit hard because of Clemens' strength. He's likely a lower OBP part-time infielder with some pop, capable of playing a passable 3B/2B. His approach was a little loose during 2020 and needs to be more discerning in 2021.
