quick pitch
Rapid persuasion attempt
Quick pitch refers to two related but distinct baseball moves.
In pitching, it's a delivery made before the batter is fully set in the box—illegal with runners on base because it prevents them from reading the pitcher's motion.
In sales and business, a quick pitch is a brief, impromptu attempt to sell something or win someone over: She gave him a quick pitch for the new software in the elevator.
