In 2015, Clement's freshman year at Virginia, he played in 62 games (61 being starts), hitting .245 with one home run and 22 RBIs. He hit .292 in the 2015 College World Series and was named to the All-CWS Team, helping Virginia win their first ever national title.[4][5][6] He spent the summer playing in the Northwoods League with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.[7] As a sophomore at Virginia in 2017, he batted .351/383/.443 with one home run and thirty RBIs in sixty games (all starts), earning a spot on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Third Team.[8][9] In the summer of 2016, he played in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Harwich Mariners where he was named the league's Most Valuable Player after hitting .353 with 59 hits in forty games while primarily playing center field.[10][11] In 2016, his junior season with Virginia, he hit .315 with two home runs and 34 RBIs in 58 games, earning All-ACC Third Team honors for the second consecutive year.[12] In 745 collegiate at-bats, Clement struck out only 31 times, and walked 34 times.[13][14][15]

Clement with the Akron RubberDucks in 2019

Clement was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the fourth round of the 2017 MLB draft.[16][17] He signed with Cleveland and made his professional debut with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers of the Low–A New York–Penn League, hitting .280 with 13 RBIs in 45 games.[18][19] He began 2018 with the Lake County Captains of the Single–A Midwest League and was promoted to the Lynchburg Hillcats of the High–A Carolina League and Akron RubberDucks of the Double–A Eastern League during the season.[20][21] Over 102 total games between the three clubs, he slashed .289/.358/.375 with two home runs, 33 RBIs, and 18 stolen bases, while being caught stealing 10 times, and played exclusively shortstop.[22][15]

Clement returned to Akron to begin 2019,[23] but missed a month during the season with an adductor strain.[24][25][26] At the end of the year, he played in three games for the Columbus Clippers of the Triple–A International League.[27] Over 101 games during the year, Clement batted .269/.323/.331 with one home run, 28 RBIs, and 17 stolen bases.[28] He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Mesa Solar Sox following the season.[29] Clement did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[30] The Indians added him to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2020.[31] To begin the 2021 season, he returned to Columbus, now members of the newly-formed Triple-A East; playing 33 games for them and two games for Akron he batted a combined .244/.287/.382 with one home runs and 10 RBIs in 145 plate appearances.[32]

On June 27, 2022, Clement became the first position player to pitch for Cleveland since Mike Freeman on June 29, 2019, and gave up six hits and four earned runs in two innings for the season.[35] He appeared in 64 games for Cleveland in 2022, hitting .200/.264/.221 with no home runs and 6 RBIs.
