wheelhouse
Area of strength
A wheelhouse is the enclosed area on a ship where the steering wheel and navigation controls are located—the bridge.
In baseball, a batter's wheelhouse is the zone where they hit most powerfully: He got a fastball right in his wheelhouse.
This sense has spread to mean anyone's area of strength or expertise: Data analysis is really her wheelhouse.
