Hurling player? No, baseball (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitcher

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hurling player?' is the definition.
'pitcher' can be an answer for 'player?' (I have seen 'American player' mean 'pitcher' so perhaps 'player' could also mean 'pitcher'). I am not sure about the 'hurling' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pitcher that I've seen before include "Ewer" , "Baseball bowler and container for liquid" , "Baseball thrower or water jug" , "One throwing" , "Someone promoting" .)
