The rate at which the baseball player hits home runs can be found by dividing the number of home runs (38) by the number of at-bats (273).
Dividing 38 by 273, we get: 38/273 ≈ 0.139.
Therefore, the rate at which the baseball player hits home runs as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth is 0.139.
The correct answer is C. 0.139.
