'baseball player' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a film ends badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'film'+'ends'='afilmends'
'afilmends' is an anagram of 'FIELDSMAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fieldsman that I've seen before include "who tries to minimize score" , "Maybe cover" .)
