It's actual meaning is, immediately.

It comes from the English sport of Cricket (similar to baseball, and is actually where baseball came from), and refers to what happens at the very moment the ball leaves the bat after contact has been made...as soon as the ball leaves the bat, the players immediately react in some way or another, so their reaction was immediate, as soon as the ball came off the bat, or "right off the bat"...cool, huh? :)
