This might be a double definition.

'he throws' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition. I also know that 'throws' relates to this answer.

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

'into' is the link.
