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 what "pitcher" refers to by changing it to "some water" and refers to "one of the players," which eliminates the ambiguity between the water container (pitcher) and the baseball player (pitcher).
