What is iso in baseball?

ISO, which stands for Isolated Power, is a sabermetric statistic used in baseball to measure a player's raw power. It is calculated by subtracting a player's batting average from their slugging percentage.

ISO helps to evaluate a player's ability to hit for extra bases, such as doubles, triples, and home runs. Players with a high ISO are typically more valuable offensively as they have the ability to produce runs with their power hitting.

A high ISO is typically above .200, and elite power hitters in baseball will have an ISO above .250. However, it is important to consider other factors, such as a player's overall offensive production, on-base percentage, and defensive abilities when evaluating their overall value to a team.
