pig in the middle
? That's not a term I'm familiar with. I woulda said he's the kind to wait until you're off in a corner by yourself, without hope of recourse, and then give you a wedgie. Nothing downright hurtful, like a serious bully giving you a bloody nose and stealing your lunch money. He's vaguely malicious with a side of cowardice.
The game where you take something from the weakling and toss it over their heads back and forth ...
I don't see him quite at the wedgie stage, and certainly not hitting or stealing.

Ah, in the midwest, the delightfully plebian named "keep away."
ION, I had a dream with you in it last night, ita. We went shopping. With a girl named Doula, who had very pretty cornrows that I wanted for myself. I have no idea what prompted this dream.
Now I'm earwormed with the Rutles singing "Piggy in the Middle."
Given the Lord of the Flies connotations, that can't be good.

I always thought it was called "monkey in the middle"
"monkey in the middle"
That's what I remember it being called too.
A quick google suggests it's a Commonwealth thing.
I've always called it keep away myself.
Monkey in the middle to me is a particular variety of keep away. Two (or more) tormentors, one object, tossed back and forth over the head of the monkey. Keep away is more of a free-for-all.
