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 option clarifies the confusion by changing "pitcher" (which can mean both a container and a player in baseball) to "water" and accurately identifies who wanted lemonade as "one of the players."
