He hit .255\/.309\/.382 with 12 home runs and 61 RBI in 162 games. Galvis has an average defensive rating (0.3 WAR), which kept him at just 1.3 WAR for the season. A better gauge of Galvis&#8217;s defense is his range factor. His RF\/9 at shortstop last season was a modest 4.17, which makes him a reliable defensive option. Although Galvis posted a .250 average, he did manage to collect 150 hits this season, which is the most he&#8217;s had so far in his career. A .309 OBP isn&#8217;t too exciting, but Galvis collected 45 walks last season which is also a career high for him, and he&#8217;s averaged 33 walks the last three seasons. In the last three seasons, Galvis has averaged 13 walks.<\/p>\n<p>Galvis has spent five seasons in the majors, all five of them with Philadelphia. He has hit .246\/.287\/.372 in his career with 52 home runs, 233 RBI, and 43 Stolen Bases.<\/p>\n<p>A native of the Venezuela, Galvis, was acquired by the Phillies in 2012 and made his debut in April of 2012 against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/pittsburgh-pirates\/?doing_wp_cron=1513371103.3924229145050048828125\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a>. He went hitless in four at-bats,<\/p>\n<h2>Enyel De Los Santos<\/h2>\n<p>As for the pitching prospect that the Phillies will be getting back, De La Santos finished last season in Double-A with the Padres farm system. The 21-year-old threw 150 innings, posting a 3.78 ERA. De La Santos finished\u00a02017 with 131 strikeouts and posted a high K\/9 of 8.3 over a 2.9 BB\/9. He posted a good 1.19 WHIP.<\/p>\n<p>For Philadelphia, the Phillies get a durable pitching prospect, who is able to record a high number of strikeouts, and able to eat up innings. If the Padres decide to put Galvis at short, they&#8217;ll be getting an upgrade over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/aybarer01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erick Aybar<\/a>.
