Higgins' drop rates each year:
'20: 6.4%
'21: 3.6%
'22: 4.5%
'23: 10.5%
Of course, sample size, but the notion that Iosivas drops a ton of balls and that Higgins is a saint in that regard, is blatantly false.
PFR has him at 2 drops, or 8.0%. They weren't technically drops, but I also remember Iosivas also letting about 4 more balls hit his hands and then get dislodged when he was hit which are not considered "drops" statistically, because it has to be what ordinary effort would make happen, but it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't particularly good at securing the ball and turning it into a catch once it hit his hands.
Not that Tee was good about not dropping the ball last year either. Don't know your source, but PFR has Tee at 7.4%, 4.5%, 7.3%, and 9.2% through his career which isn't much to write home about.
