Morphology

first + basewoman

The meaning is directly derivable by composition: it denotes a (female) player at first base, built from the clear constituents 'first' (first base position) and 'woman'. Even though 'basewoman' is not attested in the dictionary, the compounding parallels common sports terms (e.g., 'first baseman') and follows transparent, cross-linguistically common noun + noun/agent formation, so a B1 learner who knows the parts would infer the meaning.

Etymology

The noun first basewoman means a woman who plays first base in baseball; first base is the position on the field and woman shows the player is female, so the phrase means 'a woman who plays the position of first base'.
