Iggy is good, but Galvis isn’t far behind:
For 2019 OAA (Outs Above Average) among all SS:
7. Iggy with an 11
8. Galvis with an 8

With some new metrics taking in to account the shift:
“ Examples of infielders OAA grades out more highly
Freddy Galvis // +12 OAA, vs -2 DRS and -1.3 UZR
Justin Turner // +4 OAA, vs -7 DRS and -6.8 UZR
Carlos Correa // +9 OAA, vs +1 DRS and +0.1 UZR
Hunter Dozier // 0 OAA, vs -15 DRS and -5.3 UZR
Galvis is an "outstanding defensive shortstop," Reds manager David Bell said in August, so his position here is nice to see.”
