Baseball player in jug (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitcher

I believe this is a double definition.

'baseball player' is the first definition.
(I know that pitcher is a type of baseball player)

'jug?' is the second definition.
(I know that pitcher is a type of jug)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for pitcher that I've seen before include "able to hold a lot of beer" , "Does one throw the vessel?" , "Earthenware jug" , "crock" , "source of drink?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
