Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'baseball' specifies the domain or style and 'cap' names the head item, so a learner who knows both words can infer it is the kind of cap worn for baseball (a brimmed, casual hat). This straightforward noun+noun naming pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English compounding, making the meaning immediately accessible to B1 learners.
Etymology
Baseball cap comes from the caps worn by baseball players. Players wore a soft cap with a stiff front brim to keep the sun out of their eyes, and because everyone copied that useful hat, baseball cap now means 'a soft casual hat with a stiff front brim'.
