I've seen some books with "本ノック" in the title, such as "Python実践データ分析100本ノック"
and "有機化学1000本ノック 反応機構編" but can't figure out what it actually means.

I've also seen it used in a sentence like below:

> 実話100本ノックよ!!

For context, the speaker above is trying to prove to someone that ghosts
exist, so they're saying something to the effect of "having 100 true stories."

It seems to be a counter used to make what's being counted sound more
impressive than it actually is, but I have no idea.

question
meaning words phrases loanwords
Meaning of "本ノック"?
It's [baseball
jargon](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%83%8E%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF) (see ３) for
a type of _[fielding
practice](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E5%8D%83%E6%9C%AC%E3%83%8E%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF)_
, but in this context the same term is used to mean _repeated practice_ or
_drill_ in general.

Thanks to **goldbrick** for clarifying the baseball jargon.
