This might be a double definition.

'player' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'American player' mean 'pitcher' so perhaps 'player' could also mean 'pitcher')

'throwing beer container?' is the second definition.
I know that 'throwing' relates to this answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pitcher that I've seen before include "one tries to sell in a market?" , "Baseball bowler and container for liquid" , "Vessel with a handle and spout" , "crock" , "Ewer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
