The most effective way to resolve the issue of contested usage in these sentences is:

"We brought a pitcher of water for the baseball players, but one of the players said that he wanted lemonade instead."

This option clarifies that it is a player who is requesting lemonade, rather than the pitcher, which resolves the confusion present in the original sentences.
