Morphology

baseball + equipment

The meaning 'equipment used in playing baseball' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'baseball' (the sport) with 'equipment' (objects required for an activity). This straightforward noun-noun composition follows common compounding patterns cross-linguistically and would be immediately understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Baseball equipment comes from naming the equipment used for baseball. Picture a bag with a bat, ball, and glove, and that clear image explains why the phrase means 'the gear used in baseball'.
