Sort of look one can get from a batsman (6)

I believe the answer is:

glance

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

'sort of look' is the definition.
(I know that glance is a type of Looking)

'one can get from a batsman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "Stroke - gander" , "black shiny stuff" , "Butcher" , "Glimpse" , "Look briefly or bounce off" .)
