"Hit it out of the park" = đánh ra khỏi sân -> nghĩa là hoàn thành công việc một cách cực kỳ xuất sắc. Cụm từ này bắt nguồn từ môn bóng chày, khi vận động viên đánh quả bóng ra khỏi phạm vi của sân chơi thì đội đó sẽ được điểm (home run).

Ví dụ
Francesca hit it out of the park with her speech today. It was fabulous.

“First and foremost, we were able to vaccinate almost 10,000 over the course of two, six-hour days," Zane said. “The time in which we vaccinated them, we hit it out of the park.”

That’s why I was so pleased to solve Meconya Alford’s puzzle. This is Ms. Alford’s New York Times debut, and she has hit it out of the park, as far as I’m concerned. It was a smooth solve and her theme made me smile. You really can’t ask for more than that on a Monday.
