中继传球
Also known as: 中继员传球, 外野中继
中继传球把一次原本不可能完成的外野长传，拆分成两次可行的传球——外野手把球传给跑出来接应的内野手，再由这名内野手转身完成第二段传球。
很少有臂力能从警戒线一路准确地传到远端垒包。把距离一分为二，能让两段传球都保持有力、路线笔直，而不是投出一记又长又飘、失去送球力、给打者多争取时间的抛物线传球。中继员的任务几乎完全在于事先准备：跑到大致处在球与目标之间的一个位置，摆出清晰的手套目标，并在球到达之前就调整好脚步，让接球和出手融为一个动作，而不是两个分开的动作。
失误往往出在细微之处。一名干净接到球却在出手前重新调整身位的野手，恰恰把这项技术本该节省下来的时间又送了回去。沟通和步法同样重要，因为中继员通常是背对着场上局势的，需要靠队友喊出该攻向哪个垒包——或者是否该让球直接穿过去。
Get to your spot and stop moving. A fielder still drifting when the ball arrives cannot set his feet. The catch-turn-release sequence is where the time saving actually lives. This means not in the sprint out.
Use a double cut on balls to the deepest part of the park: two infielders on the same axis about 40 feet apart. The first can handle a short arrival and the second is already in position to finish it. This protects against one long leg dying halfway home.
Example
中外野手把球传给了在外野草坪上接应的他；他在朝内野移动的同时接住球，随即一记直传本垒，杀死了追平比分的跑垒员。
Why it matters
一次配合默契的中继传球，能比一记又长又飘的直接传球节省整整一秒，而这一秒往往正是跑垒员在远端垒包上安全或出局的差别所在。
How it shows up on video
A good one shows the fielder already moving toward the target before the ball arrives, receiving it with the glove-side foot forward. As a result, transfer and release happen together. A poor one shows him flat-footed on the catch, adding a full stop-and-restart.
Common mistakes
- Standing still to receive the ball instead of already moving toward the target, adding time before the second leg
- Setting up off the direct axis between the ball and the base. This forces one of the two legs to be longer than it needs to be
- Failing to agree on the target base, causing hesitation or a delivery to the wrong bag

Frequently asked questions
这与切球员有什么不同？
区别在于深度和目的。这里的中继员会深入外野草坪，把一段很长的距离拆成两段传球；而切球员留在离内野更近的地方，主要是为了拦截已经飞向某个垒包的球。
球打到空档时哪名野手负责出去接应？
由球打出方向那一侧的中区内野手负责——打向左中外野由游击手，打向右中外野由二垒手——而另一名则负责补防打者兼跑垒员正在冲向的垒包。
外野手应该用高飞球还是弹地球方式传给中继员？
应以齐胸高度的空中传球方式传出。任何弹地传球都必须先被接稳才能转身出手，而这损失的半秒，恰恰是这项技术设计用来节省的余地。
