I have never heard this idiom before, so I looked it up.
Be batting a thousand - to do something extremely well and better than you had hoped to do it.
And from wiki;
batting 1000 or batting a thousand — Getting everything in a series of items right. In baseball, someone with a batting average of one thousand (written as 1.000) has had a hit for every at bat in the relevant time period (e.g. in a game). AHDI dates its non-baseball usage to the 1920s. May also be used ironically when someone is getting everything wrong.
