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.
