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)。
