Projector needed for baseball (7)
I believe the answer is:
pitcher
This clue might be a double definition.
'projector' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'for baseball' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'needed' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pitcher that I've seen before include "Ewer" , "crock" , "US sportsman" , "Someone promoting" , "Baseball bowler and vessel for liquid" .)
