Not new but I hate any baseball references. What does 'battin a hundred' even mean?


Batting a thousand means you have 100% accuracy in hitting the ball while at bat. No misses.

Success 10% of the time.


The first one I can understand. 100=100%. But the 2nd one, how does it mean 10% success? I know close to nothing about baseball


In baseball, the batting stats are usually shown with 3 decimal places. So for example, someone with a .353 batting average is typically said as "batting 353" or "has a three fifty three batting average". 353 is representative of hitting the ball 35.3% of the time

So if someone is batting 1000, that's actually represented with 1.000

.100 is 10%

I hope all that is correct
