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.

Hummm...

Fortunately for me, Kincaid has dialog this week, good dialog at that. So glad I have a baseball boy in the bunch! *g*
