Morphology
The meaning 'a team of baseball players' is directly and compositionally derived from 'baseball' (the sport) + 'club' (an association or organized group); this is a regular noun–noun compound following standard English formation. Similar constructions exist in many languages (e.g., Spanish 'club de béisbol' or 'equipo de béisbol'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Baseball club combines baseball, the game, and club, a group of people who play or support it. So it came to mean an organized 'team' of players who play and travel together.
