牵制 （棒球术语）


Explanation:
Pick off: (Baseball) To put out (a base runner standing off base) by making a quick throw to a fielder. Used especially of a pitcher or catcher.
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/pick off

美国人讲话是很喜欢用棒球术语或美式足球术语的。

In baseball, a pickoff is an act by a pitcher, throwing a live ball to a fielder so that the fielder can tag out a baserunner who is either leading off or about to begin stealing the next base.

牵制球（Pick-off）为棒球战术之一；即投手将球投向有跑垒者之垒包，将其牵制。 一般情况，球员在上垒后都会站离垒包一段距离。这有助打击手将球打出后能更快跑到下一垒；另一方面亦能在有利情况下增加盗垒的成功率。因此，牵制球之主要目的为歇制跑垒者盗垒；在较少情形下更能将跑垒者点出（若跑垒者不能在牵制球抵达之先返回垒包）。
