  • Baseball et softball
DEF

Tactique offensive où le coureur au premier but simule une tentative de vol de but pendant que le frappeur cherche à placer la balle en lieu sûr derrière le coureur.

Les sources consultées devraient davantage distinguer entre la forme nominale «frappe-et-court» ou «court-et-frappe», et la forme verbale, un impératif, «frappe et cours!». Comme il s'agit d'un jeu, on tend à oublier la distinction de forme dans les graphies.
