- The Kid Who Batted 1.000 is the name of two separate books, both juvenile baseball novels. The key plot device – the advent of a young batsman who is able to achieve a walk (base on balls) at every plate appearance – is identical in both novels. "1.000" is a perfect baseball batting average – a hit for every at bat – and by convention is pronounced "a thousand" rather than "one point oh", so the title of the books is generally spoken as "The kid who batted a thousand". Achieving a base on balls at every plate appearance actually gives one an on-base percentage of 1.000 rather than a batting average of 1.000 (in fact one's batting average, if expressed numerically, would by convention be .000), but in both books the protagonist does deliver at least one fair hit.
