Block-and-bunt is a term that refers to a defensive strategy in baseball where a player blocks the runner's path to the base while the pitcher bunts the ball to advance a runner. Synonyms for block-and-bunt may include pick-and-roll, screen-and-roll, or screen-and-slip in basketball. In football, the term chip-and-release can be used to describe a similar tactic where a lineman blocks a defender briefly before releasing to catch a pass. Another synonym is "draw and dump," where the quarterback fakes a pass downfield, only to dump the ball off to a running back for a short gain. These strategies all involve a combination of deception and teamwork to execute successfully on the field.
