slide step
Sideways gliding movement
A slide step is a lateral movement where one foot steps sideways and the other slides to meet it, used in dance, sports footwork, and exercise.
In baseball specifically, a slide step is a pitcher's quick, abbreviated delivery designed to prevent baserunners from stealing—the pitcher slides toward home plate rather than lifting the leg high: He went to the slide step with a runner on first.
