pitchout

Baseball. a strategy in which a pitcher purposely throws the ball too far outside the plate for the batter to hit, but enabling the catcher to more easily handle the ball in anticipation of an attempted steal, squeeze play, or hit-and-run play: On a botched pitchout by the Oakland battery, Santana stole his first base since last September.

Football. a lateral pass thrown behind the line of scrimmage by one back, especially a T-formation quarterback, to another: Freeman took a pitchout and went 42 yards around left end for the score.
