This clue could be a double definition.

'piece of pottery' is the first definition.

(Other definitions for pitcher that I've seen before include "US sportsman" , "Baseball player; big jug" , "Baseball player throws the vessel" , "Baseball thrower or water jug" , "that can hold his drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
