"out in left field" means something strange or eccentric.
He's out in left field. (He's weird/crazy.)
A related (and more common) phrase is "come out of left field" and it means "unexpected", "odd" or sometimes "wrong".
His question came out of left field. (His question was unexpected and probably unrelated to the conversation.)
Her decision to travel to Europe came out of left field. (She probably never showed any interest, but suddenly one day said she was going.)
Your answer comes right out of left field. (It's the wrong answer, it has no relation to the question.)
