Answer 1

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

**We brought some water for the baseball players. But one of the players said that he wanted lemonade instead.**

This version clarifies the ambiguity by replacing "a pitcher" with "some water," which helps avoid confusion between the context of a pitcher as a container and the pitcher as a player on the baseball team.
