His ISO (.232) currently sits 7th all time for players 20 years of age with at least 150 PA.
He's behind three hall of famers (Mel Ott [.306], Ted Williams [.281], and Frank Robinson [.267), one future hall of famer (Alex Rodriguez [.273]), and two guys who were having potential hall of fame careers but injuries cut their career very short (Bob Horner [.272] and Tony Conigliaro [.244]).
He's ahead of Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Al Kaline, Eddie Mathews, Orlando Cepeda, Ken Griffey, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench
Sorry if I'm a bit giddy here
Now at .271 for fourth and just 1 point behind Bob Horner and 2 points behind A-Rod.
If he keeps up putting the .350 ISO he has been since July 1, he seriously has a chance to be only the second player ever to surpass a .300 ISO before he can legally drink a beer
Since the All-Star break, his 1.065 OPS is 4th amongst all major leaguers (Uggla's is 7th, by the way). His .357 ISO ranks 3rd (just behind Uggla and a ridiculous .458 from Bautista), and here's a real cool stat -- he is 3rd in BB/PA, behind Werth and Migga.
