short hop
Quick little leap
A short hop is a brief trip, especially by air, between nearby destinations: It's just a short hop from Boston to New York.
In baseball, a short hop is a ball that bounces immediately in front of a fielder, making it difficult to catch cleanly: He fielded the short hop and threw to first.
