From a previous discussion:
TAKE IT INTO THE WHEELHOUSE - ".we're going to take it into this administration's supposed wheelhouse." From "Had Enough: A Handbook for Fighting Back" by James Carville with Jeff Nussbaum (Simon & Schuster, New York, 2003) Page 30.
: "Right in his wheelhouse" is a common expression in U.S. baseball, though I don't know how old it is, or if it originated as a sports expression.
: In baseball, it refers to the location of a pitch that makes it easy to hit for a particular batter.
Wheelhouse -- A hitter's power zone. Usually a pitch waist-high and over the heart of the plate.
